This cultural event is being promoted by the St. George’s Society and carried out by my company, Five-Star International Communications. It has the support and approval of the British Embassy, is in receipt of funding from FAPESB and is being hosted by the Centro de Memória da Bahia, Fundação Pedro Calmon from 3 to 7 November.

Participation is free of charge; however, places are limited. If you are interested in participating, please contact me, Sabrina Gledhill, at britanicosnabahia@gmail.com to reserve your place.

From 3 to 7 Nov, the programme will be in Portuguese at the auditorium of the Central Library in Barris. On the 8th, a special event will be held at the British Cemetery Chapel, where the presentations that were translated during the main event will be given once again in English, without translation:
Marc Herold – “The British Contribution to Bahia”
Louise Guenther – “The British Merchant Community in Bahia in the 19th century”
John Vignoles – “Charles Blacker Vignoles and Hutton Vignoles: The British engineers who built the Bahia and São Francisco Railway”

Let alone the sites I’ve built and left adrift in Cyberspace (they come back to haunt me every once in a while). So why another? I thought this would be the perfect place to blog about my main activities and hobbies – writing, research, translation and photography. I’ll start by publishing a few things I’ve had stored in my computer for ages.
