Sentenced to Beyond the Seas by David Clarke
David is a well-known and highly regarded local speaker who
last visited us in October 2019 when he spoke about the BBC banning records
from the radio airwaves.
The true and fascinating tale of 8 Worcestershire female convicts sentenced
to death or transportation in the 1780's to the 'Land Beyond the Seas'. That
land was to become Australia and those women the foundation of a new nation.
One of the would be the progenitor of the largest living family group in
Australia today. Another would return to England a rich woman.
David expects to speak for 50-55 minutes.
