SUMMARY:FCDOA online talk with John Campbell on Richard Burdon\, Viscount Haldane:  Resurrecting a Forgotten Statesman
DESCRIPTION:FCDOA is organising online talk by\nJohn Campbell\non\nRichard Burdon\, Viscount Haldane: \nResurrecting a Forgotten Statesman\non 13 October 2021 @ 11.00-12.00 on Zoom \nTicket is £5 \n\nHaldane’s biographer\, John Campbell\, will give us an insight  into this remarkable lawyer\, statesman and thinker who shaped many aspects of modern Britain. Born in 1856  in Edinburgh\, he attended the universities of Edinburgh and Göttingen. Moving to London at the age of 21 to become a barrister his  rise was phenomenal; an  MP by the age of 29\, the youngest QC appointed for a generation at the age of 33\, he was soon established not only as the pre-eminent legal mind of his generation\, but also as the brains of the Liberal party contributing ideas to address the social\, political and economic changes of his time. As Secretary of State for War in Campbell Bannerman and Asquith’s administrations\, he was the architect of Britain’s success in WW1 in resisting Germany’s hegemony\,and his influence stands behind the creation of MI5 and MI6\, He was also deeply instrumental in the reform of British higher education\, and the development of  several universities\, including LSE and Imperial College. He was Lord Chancellor from 1912-15 under Asquith and in 1925 served in that role in Ramsay Macdonald’s first Labour administration. \n  \nJohn Campbell

SUMMARY:Literary Visit to Medieval Dragon Hall with Dinner is Cancelled
DESCRIPTION:Dear member\, \n  \nWe’re writing to tell you that regrettably it’s been necessary to cancel the prestigious 19th October visit to the Dragon Hall and literary dinner. \n  \nThree members dropped out at short notice – making the cost for the remaining participants too high. Despite a further publicity push last week\, the lack of takers suggests an apparent but understandable reluctance to travel during these current post-pandemic times. \n  \nIt was a tough decision to make since we know how much those of you who had booked and paid wished to be present at the event – not just to talk about books and to celebrate the FCDOA’s literary skills but also to be with other members for the first time since the end of 2019. On this occasion it has not proved possible. Full refunds will be made. \n  \nWe hope that in 2022 there will be other opportunities to enjoy and promote – face to face – our love of books and writing. For us it will be a priority. \n  \nWith our good wishes \n  \n  \nEdward Glover \nJane Clarke \nLucie Portman \nWriters’ Corner

SUMMARY:FCDOA Online Talk by Lord Peter RICKETTS - Britain at a Crossroads: The Case for a New National Strategy
DESCRIPTION:FCDOA is organising an Online Talk on ZOOM by\nLord Peter RICKETTS\nwith a title\nBritain at a Crossroads: The Case for a New National Strategy\non 26 October at  11.00 – 12.00 on ZOOM \nTicket is £5 \n\nPeter Ricketts will talk about the themes of his book Hard Choices: What Britain Does Next.  In his book\, Peter uses his forty years in the Foreign Office to shed light on the choices Britain needs to make in designing a post-Brexit national strategy for a world dominated by US-China rivalry. \nThe talk will start with Britain’s formative influence in shaping the UN and NATO\, and the central role the country played in crisis management through the Cold War and beyond. In assessing how well prepared the British system is for the challenges ahead\, Peter will comment on what he sees as the lost art of strategy and the tendency to over-estimate Britain’s weight in the world. He will wrap up by outlining some choices which will shape Britain’s future\, from defining a new balance in relations between the US\, Europe and China\, to standing up for our values and interests while landing much-needed trade deals.
