You may remember the various articles over the last couple of years about Walter Tull, the First Black Officer and Footballer ?
Walter is named on two of our (Dover) memorials; his family came from, lived in, and still live, in Dover.
Now, there is to be a book-launch on Walter on the 9th. of January in Folkestone
There is an open invitation for the book launch from Raw Press, but please email them to let them know you are coming; you can send your email to:
teresa@rawpress.co.uk
Time: 2.30pm
Date: Saturday 9 January 2010
Venue: The Grand, The Leas, Folkestone
I understand various people will be there, including the Mayor of Folkestone, and Michael Howard, but, as it's a Saturday, the premier league footballers can't be there as they have other commitments !
Maybe see you there ?
