Newtown Rotary Club

President Neil Grant welcomed Paul Henke to Maesmawr Hotel for the annual Christmas dinner.

Paul has led an extraordinary life. Born and raised in the mining valleys of South Wales, his father was a Polish immigrant who came to the UK during the Second World War. Paul was educated at Pontypridd Boys’ Grammar and from an early age had a burning desire to be a Royal Naval officer.

He has travelled extensively, researching material for his work and is now a full time writer. His works include Tears Trio, Turmoil and Havoc.

Paul spoke about his work in the Royal Navy and about a number of his books.

Many thanks to Rotarian Rod Evans for organising the meal and to Paul as the guest speaker.
