SUMMARY:Discover Somerton - A walk though history (2pm & 4pm)
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by  Somerton’s Co-op\n\nThis event was so popular last year we have decided to run it again! Martyn Smith\, the Somerton Music & Arts Festival treasurer\, will be your guide for a tour of historic Somerton. Martyn was born in the Midlands and a job-related move brought him to Somerton in 1990.\nHe says ‘Somerton is such a great place to live and I’m always proud to show people around our ancient hill-top town with its interesting buildings and beautiful church.’ \nThis gentle walk will take around one hour or so and will take in St Michael’s Church and some of the other old buildings in the historic centre of town. \nThe group size is limited to 20 so it is advisable to book early to avoid disappointment. The walk starts from the cobbled area outside Somerton Parish Rooms. \nAs this walk takes place through the town\, participants should wear appropriate footwear and be especially aware when crossing roads. \nTickets for the 2pm walk have now sold out so Martyn has kindly agreed to lead a second walk starting at 4pm.  \nTicket prices:  Standard £6\n\n\n\nBUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n  \n  \nTickets are also be available from Stationery House in Somerton.

SUMMARY:WW2 Talks
DESCRIPTION:An evening of fascinating talks given by two local historians… \nOperation Pedestal – The Convoy that Saved Malta\na presentation by Joshua Bassett\n \nIn August 1942\, the Royal Navy organised a large convoy to relieve the besieged island of Malta in the mediterranean. For four days and nights the ships pressed onwards in the face of fearsome German and Italian attacks. At great cost\, crucial food and fuel supplies were delivered to the island\, saving it from surrender in the nick of time. \nThe Great Escape and The Rolex Watches\na presentation by David Morris\nMany Allied military personnel were captured and taken prisoner of war during WW2\, with many airmen being held captive in the German camp Stalag Luft III (made famous by the film ‘The Great Escape’). Royal Navy Pilot Derek Martin\, a Devon Man\, was shot down over Norway in 1940\, taken prisoner by German Forces and spent the entire war behind the wire in Stalag Luft III.  This talk explores his story from take-off\, shoot down\, capture and time as a prisoner\, and explains how\, of all things\, Rolex wrist watches were a vital piece of escape equipment for those trying to break out\nand make a run for it. Intrigued? Come and learn more about ‘The Rolex Great Escape watches’. \nThere will be a break between the talks at 8.15. Price includes tea\, coffee and biscuits. \nTicket prices:  Early Bird £7  |  Advance £8 | On the Door £9\n\n\n\nBUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n  \n  \n\n
