Donald Trump and me
RAG Member: Jim Sitch
For the four years of the Trump presidency Jim kept a diary, making an entry every one of the 1462 days he was in power. It was a tough project but he was proud of finishing it and more importantly the five separate diaries have now been compiled into one volume. "You think you know Donald Trump? You will do after reading this book. If you dare."

A Flight to Freedom
RAG Member: Jane Oldfield
Jane was living on a narrow boat on the Grand Union Canal when she first visited the Cowper and Newton Museum. She appreciated the early work against slavery of Cowper, a poet, and Newton, the local vicar but I was shocked to find over 40 million people around the world still live in slavery today. With the support of the museum, she has decided to donate all the proceeds from this exhibition to Anti-slavery International.
