SUMMARY:Disabled Adventurer: Talk & FREE film screening
DESCRIPTION:Meet Disabled Adventurer\, hear him talk & watch his award-winning film for FREE\, as a 50th Birthday gift & thanks to Northants\nFrom Nick Wilson: \n“On Friday 14th August\, I’ll be completing the Greenways trail across north Northamptonshire – and when I roll back in\, you’re invited to welcome me home. \nI turned 50 in July. And this is my birthday gift to Northants! \nAs a thank you for the incredible support this community has shown me over the years\, I’m throwing open the doors – completely free – for a small\, personal get-together at Stanwick Lakes. \nA chance to meet me fresh off the trail\, hear all about my plans to make outdoor adventures accessible for everyone across Northants through the donation of two all-terrain powerchairs and all-terrain experiences at events\, watch my award-winning documentary Project RockClimber\, and ask me absolutely anything you want. \nNo corporate fluff. No formal stage setup. Just a genuine conversation about outdoor access\, adventure\, and what’s possible when you refuse to be told no. Project RockClimber follows my solo ascent of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) – the first ever completed in an all-terrain powerchair prototype. It won Best Northants Documentary Feature Film at the Northampton Film Festival. Come and see why. \nFree to attend – my gift to you. Just register your spot so we know numbers:\nRESERVE YOUR SPOT: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/d/united-kingdom/disabled-adventurer/\nFor my powerchair fund (which I aim to raise enough to donate to Stanwick Lakes)\, donations are gratefully received on the day – cash or phone payment welcome.\nEvery penny goes toward getting all-terrain chairs into Northants.”

After attending the Comics School in Milan\, he started writing and drawing his own independent graphic novels. His comics have been published in Italy and the UK and have won many awards.

Winner of the BSFA Best Collection Award for Best of British Science Fiction 2023\, she leads The Slab Press\, a local publisher of fantasy\, horror and science fiction. The Slab hasn't been around for long\, but stories from Vivid Worlds and Hiding Under the Leaves have already been shortlisted for BSFA and British Fantasy Society Best Short Fiction awards respectively this year. \nAward-winning journalist\, podcaster and ultra runner\, Lily Canter has a passion for women's endurance sport. Her book Ultra Women: The Trailblazers Defying Sexism in Sport was winner at the Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards 2026 and shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2025.

Insta: @jodiexneely Website: www.jodieneely.com \nAmir Ali\, a British memoir author whose writing explores resilience\, healing\, trauma and personal transformation. His debut memoir\, The Boy Who Walked Through Fire: A Journey of Pain\, Survival\, and Becoming Whole\, draws upon his own life experiences to deliver an honest account of overcoming childhood adversity while offering hope to others facing similar struggles. Professionally\, Amir has spent many years leading complex technology and transformation programmes across both the NHS and the private sector. Alongside his professional career\, he has developed a passion for writing stories that encourage resilience\, compassion and personal growth. \nWill Adams has a selection of fiction and non-fiction books\, inspired by railways\, sci fi and Northamptonshire! They include his debut novel 'Consequences': Edward Prescot has a boring job in a boring office\, and every day is much like another. Except\, as it turns out\, Thursdays\, which are becoming increasingly unlike every other day. Then he is introduced to the enigmatic Mr Pycroft\, who explains that everything we do – past\, present and future – has far-reaching consequences. Normally these are irreversible\, but it appears that Ed has the rare ability to manipulate these consequences to fashion a different future – especially on Thursdays. At the London Traveller Centre he meets his similarly gifted companion Tony Curtis (not that one) and finds himself thrust into an unsettling world of speculative time travel. Will a better world emerge? Will Tony become less irritating? Will Ed finally win Maggie’s heart? In this fast-moving story\, Will Adams and Martin Smith pay homage to their old university friend and co-writer the late Douglas Adams\, of Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy fame. Consequences is by turns exciting\, funny and a tad satirical. \nPaul Giffney\, aka The Purple Pen Poet\, has been a lover of poetry ever since the day that he discovered Spike Milligan’s On the Ning Nang Nong (and he still enjoys reciting it today – ask him when he is free and he will!). He performs lots of poetry\, both his and that of others\, at many open mic nights across the country\, often dragging other poets with him\, having encouraged many when he was the 10th Bard of Northampton. He lives in Northampton with his husband\, his cat and a pile of books that do not fit on any shelf (the books. The cat fits on every shelf). He is currently studying for a Master’s in Psychology\, finding ways to use his creativity to help others and actively seeks opportunities to do this. He encourages you to follow his progress online at his website: www.paulgiffney.uk \nRosemary Sturge is a Northampton author of historical novels and short stories. She has written six books so far\, including 'Northampton 1290' and her latest\, set in the North of England 'Clouds Over Bowland'. \nLorna Tidbury is the author of Finding Home\, shortlisted for Debut Novel of the Year 2026 by the Romantic Novelists Association. Her second novel\, Sisters of the Tide will be published on 25th August 2026. Both novels are set in Cornwall and tell tales of love\, loss\, betrayal and revenge – a perfect mix of romance\, mystery and suspense set against the dramatic Cornish coastline. Lorna lives in Northamptonshire with her husband and family and when not writing\, she enjoys visiting Cornwall\, wrestling with her garden and trying to keep up with her expanding still-to-be-read pile of books. \n60 Miles presents: Community Comics centres the often-overlooked local communities who exist outside the mainstream narrative of Northants’ rich social heritage. Six local community groups were paired with six Comic Book Artists & Writers to capture the range of experiences that make up the place we all call home through an exciting range of perspectives\, forms and styles. All of the material has been collated into a single\, stunning 116-page collection\, uniting Northants’ experiences together for people now and in the future.
