January – May 2012 JANUARY Welcome to another year of ESU Dartmouth House events. Your attendance at these events is an essential part of our fundraising initiative and I am very grateful to all of you who supported us last year. Not only did we raise a significant amount for our charitable activities, we attracted new members and even a new sponsor for the London Debate Challenge! The profit made from each event goes directly to the charitable activities of the ESU, enabling young people in the UK and internationally to benefit from public speaking and debate training, exchange scholarships and career development opportunities. ESU alumni and nonmembers are very welcome at our events; however, we would be very grateful if you could make an additional voluntary donation to the member ticket price. Thank you for your support. I look forward to seeing you at Dartmouth House. Jo Wedderspoon Director of Fundraising and Development Tickets to all events can be booked via: Susan Conway Events Manager Dartmouth House 37 Charles Street London W1J 5ED T: 020 7529 1582 susan.conway@esu.org The dress code for all ESU events is smart casual, unless otherwise specified. Wednesday 11 January, 6.30 – 8 pm Meet the Author Herta Von Stiegel: The Mountain Within In July 2008, international business executive Herta Von Stiegel led a group of disabled people to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for charity. The story was captured in the award-winning documentary The Mountain Within and now the expedition has inspired this remarkable work, which blends the gripping tale with powerful leadership lessons and conversations with many of the world’s most influential business leaders including, Kay Unger, Sung-Joo Kim, Baroness Scotland of Asthal, Hon Al Gore and David Blood. Tickets: £15 to include one glass of wine and a selection of nibbles. Copies of The Mountain Within will be on sale at the event. Tuesday 24 January, 6.30 – 8.00 pm Meet the Author Roger Rosewell: Medieval Wall Paintings in English and Welsh Churches Wall paintings are a unique art form, complementing and yet distinctly separate from other religious imagery in churches. Unlike carvings or stained glass windows, their support was the structure itself, with the artist’s ‘canvas’ the very stone and plaster of the church. Notwithstanding their dissimilarity from other religious art, wall paintings were also an integral part of church interiors, enhancing devotional imagery and inspiring faith and commitment in their own right, and providing an artistic setting for the church’s sacred rituals and public ceremonies. Join the ESU for a fascinating talk by Roger Rosewell, former journalist, director of a private European art foundation and the news editor of the online stained glass magazine, VIDIMUS, as he journeys through many of the best surviving examples of medieval church wall paintings today, bringing the imagery and iconography of the medieval church vividly to life. Tickets: £15 to include a glass of wine and selection of nibbles. Copies of Medieval Wall Paintings in English and Welsh Churches will be on sale at the event. Wednesday 25 January, 6.30 – 9.00 pm Burns’ Night supper Come and help us celebrate the birthday of Scotland’s bard with a reception and traditional bill o’ fare buffet in the Revelstoke Restaurant. Don your tartan and enjoy Burns’ poetry recitals, the “Immortal Memory” and of course, the famous toast to the haggis! Tickets: £25 Dress code: lounge suit (tartan optional) The buffet will be served at 7 pm.
