Once again we will be running a hybrid meeting welcoming visitors to the hall in London and on Zoom simultaneously.

This month we had:

AGM: The clubs AGM starts at 12:00 pm, thanks to those who attended.

Speaking this month we had:

1st Mary Fogarty – From the Pasha’s Palace to the desert city of the Haddou.

Mary Fogarty tells of a journey over the dramatic Tizi n’Tichka pass in the High Atlas mountains to visit the ancestral home of Thami El Glaoui, the Pasha of Marrakech and caid of the surrounding Ounila Valley.

Freak weather – snow and freezing temperatures – pervaded the journey as Mary and her friends then made their way to Ait Benhaddou, a stunning hilltop ksar (fortified village) built of red clay bricks in the kasbah way, which cleverly camouflage it against the surrounding red rock desert.

Given UNESCO World Heritage status in 1987, the ksar is probably more famous to the wider world for being the location in films such as Gladiator, Alexander and Prince of Persia. Mary and her friends were practically blown off the edge of it by biting winds, and on the return drive to Marrakech the snow descended and the mountain pass closed behind them.

You can watch the talk below
