'From Battle of Britain Airman to POW Escapee: The Story
of Ian Walker RAF'
Angela Walker will talk about her book,
From Battle of Britain Airman to POW Escapee: The Story of Ian Walker RAF. Ian was part of a night fighter squadron based at Manston and heralded as one of The Few. After the Battle of Britain, he joined 115 Squadron and flew scores of death-defying missions over Germany in Wellington Bombers.
Angela takes the reader on a thrilling journey into the heart of Europe’s theatre of war. She also reveals many surprising discoveries about the man who was her father. A local North Shore girl and former Rangitoto College student, Angela shares memories of Ian Walker RAF and read from his letters and journals. It will also be the official launch of Angela’s book.
Light refreshments served from 6pm, author talk starts at 6.30pm. Copies will be available for purchase and signing courtesy of South Pacific Books.

The Graduate Women North Shore warmly invite you to hear Dr Stephen
Hoadley, Associate Professor of International Relations at the University of
Auckland, regular public lecturer and commentator on TV and radio, who will be
speaking about the first 150 days of the Trump presidency.
President Trump's policies by Tweet have polarised Americans and unnerved foreign leaders and public alike. But his actions have not been consistent with his campaign promises. So what is the real Trump? What is the real America? What are the real interests New Zealand should pursue vis-à-vis the United States? Be prepared for a lively discussion and the opportunity for audience questions.

Auckland Festival of Photography presents a

photojournalists from VII Agency.
Christopher Morris
TIME sent photographer Christopher Morris to capture the US Presidential candidates’ rallies in slow motion. The surreal experience shows what the human eye can’t see and process in real time.
Using the Phantom camera, Christopher was able to record close to 1,000 frames per second, stretching seconds into minutes in experimental films that lie between still photography and video artistry. Instagram: @christopher_vii
Linda Bournane Engelberth
South Wales Valleys, known locally as 'The Valleys', is the former industrial area of South Wales and is home to around 30 per cent of the Welsh population. It is also the poorest region in Wales. Despite receiving a high level of financial support from the EU, The Valleys recently voted overwhelmingly in favour of Brexit.
The Valleys had been a target of EU Regional Policy funding because its GDP was less than 75 per cent of the EU average. The effects of Brexit could have dire consequences for the region as a whole. Instagram: @lindabournane
Danny Wilcox Frazier

Frazier has photographed people struggling to survive the economic shift that has devastated rural communities throughout America, including in his home state of Iowa.
