We Were Cold Warriors

Our Guest Speaker this year is Jonno DP, veteran and author of the 'We Were Cold Warriors' book series, a collection of anecdotes from the people who spent fifty years defending freedom and democracy against the Eastern Bloc. 

Jonno tells us that "It was a mad time, with mad people and some mad experiences. And if it had ever gone from a cold war to a hot one the strategists tell us the result would have been MAD. (Mutually Assured Destruction)". 

Jonno DP will be giving us a fascinating talk (full of hilarious anecdotes) on his experiences during his Cold War period of service and afterwards holding a Q&A session, where he'd also like to gather your own Cold War service anecdotes for his next amazing volume of 'We Were Cold War Warriors'. So warm up your (cold) war stories and you could even see yourself in print after the festival!

Copies of Jonno's books will be available at his market stall at the festival.
