August 2022: For our AGM we invited speaker Philip Caine to tell his career story, BARROW TO BAGHDAD and BACK AGAIN. The story starts with him working as a chef and hotel manager, followed by work on oil rigs in the North Sea, and culminates in Dubai where he ran an oil services company. You’ll hear anecdotes and funny tales all through. He might tell why it’s taken five years to pin him down to come talk to us!
Born in Barrow-in-Furness in 1950 Philip Caine’s working life took him to Algeria, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Russia and Baghdad. He has now spoken at over 500 UK venues. The very same Philip Caine has written nine adventure thrillers including a series featuring a detective called Shackleton Blister. He also wrote the ‘Jack Castle series’ with titles such as Picnic in Iraq and To Catch a Fox. You can find the books here on Amazon.
