2020 Reunion Update - Bharat Patel's Talk



As you know, Bharat Patel will be the guest speaker at this year's reunion.

As Bharat's talk will make reference to his book Indian Takeaway, he feels it would be advantageous if those who intended to purchase a copy at the reunion did so beforehand.

The book can be ordered from the Hope Against Cancer web site, or by telephoning 0116 270 0101.  All proceeds will go to the charity.

If you bring the book to the reunion Bharat will be happy to sign it.  There will also be some to buy on the day.

Please note this is not a sales pitch for the book, there is no pressure to buy!!

If anyone wants to find out more they can go to:


There's a film Bharat made for the charity on that page. He was impressed by their work, hence the reason they're getting the money.
