Longstanding EWiB members will recall that Dame Stella accepted our invitation to speak at the EWiB Annual Dinner some years ago. Since then, she has published a number of thrillers which have reached the best-seller list. All her thrillers have a central – female – MI5 character. She speaks internationally on a wide range of topics and is one of DBA Speakers’ most-requested speakers.

This prestigious annual event, organised by the Princess Alice Hospice, takes place at Epsom Racecourse. The Lunch attracts ladies from all over Surrey and the tickets sell out within weeks. With Dame Stella as the guest speaker, they may sell out within just days.

Dame Stella Rimington worked in all the main fields of the Service’s responsibilities – counter-subversion, counter-espionage and counter-terrorism – becoming successively Director of all three branches. She was appointed Director General in 1992, the first woman to take the post and the first Director General to be publicly named. She retired in April 1996. She is also, famously, the role model for Dame Judi Dench’s character “M” in the James Bond 007 films.

Dame Stella’s books will be on sale and she will sign copies purchased at the lunch.  In addition, DBA Speakers will give a percentage of all books sold as a further donation to the fundraising of the Princess Alice Hospice.

As well as a lovely lunch in a wonderful setting and Dame Stella’s speech, there will be a variety of stalls selling a range of gorgeous gifts and goodies at all price ranges … just in time for Christmas.

It’s an excellent day out, so come along and bring your friends. Tickets cost just £50 each and are available via houghtonmary@hotmail.com or telephone 01372 456284.

All good wishes for the continuing success of EWiB,

Diana Boulter
