Circumnavigator Charline

  

When I completed my journey to Around the World in 80 Schools in May 2009, I was honored to be invited to become a member of the Circumnavigator Club.

The Circumnavigators Club was founded in 1902  its aim:

“Through Friendship, to leave the World a little better than we found it.”

It is an organization devoted to bringing together those who have circumnavigated the globe and to encourage global fellowship and understanding.  It was set up 100 years ago in New York. Early members were famous, or associated with exploration and diplomatic assignments including Harry Houdini and Buffalo Bill!

 The Order Of Magellan is awarded to exceptional members who have achieved extraordinary Circumnavigation adventures.  Past Award Recipients include:

President Herbert Hoover 1963, Neil Armstrong 1971,Thor Heyerdahl 1981,Sir Edmund Hillary 1983, Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau 1996,Ted Turner 1999, Brian Jones and Bertrand Piccard 1999,Steve Fossett 2003,Peter Hillary 2006 and Michael Palin 2009

 In December 2009 a meeting was held at the House of Lords by UK Circumnavigator President Ms Helen Jenkings. I  was honoured to present a talk on Around the World in 80 Schools following on from a prestigious talk by Mr. Michael Palin CBE http://www.palinstravels.co.uk/ and Mrs. Rosie Swale Pope MBE, who successfully ran around the world over five years.  http://www.rosiearoundtheworld.co.uk/  - Fellow Circumnavigators

I must admit I was very honored to be asked to be a Circumnavigator and to join in a club where there are so many inspirational people trying to make this world a better place. So, not only am I proud to be able to call myself a Circumnavigator and represent the ideals of  encouraging global fellowship, understanding and stimulating intellectual debate but I am proud to be a Welsh Circumnavigator in Wales !!!!!!!!!!!

And with that in mind I'm pleased to announce that in March 2010, UK Circumnavigator President Ms Helen Jenkins will be launching a Circumnavigators Event in Cardiff, Wales .

Speakers : Mrs Rosie Swale Pope MBE and Charline Evans
