This Youth Hostel Association commemorative Plate was my fathers, obtained from him visiting the International Conference held in England in 1934. My father was
a very early member of the YHA (member number 1774 in 1932). He and his mother also became wardens of Overton
Hall Youth Hostel in 1934 where they hosted a dinner to the International delegates attending the 3rd conference on the
20th October 1934. A copy of the menu can be found here. It is signed by the delegates including the founder of the Youth Hostel movement Richard Schirrmann
Since my retirement from Cortex Controllers it is my intention to spend more time walking. I would
really like to walk the E2 from Ireland to Nice. The E2 connects my birthplace to where I live now in Cambridge and my second
home in Les Gets France, so is particularly appealing to me.
