# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Winter Talk: From Forres to the Arctic Circle
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 11 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: We are delighted to be working in collaboration with the Forres Area Business Association, where one of its directors. Gavin Ellis, a well known Forres businessman will share his experience of being called to assist an attempt to row the Northwest Passage which had got into in difficulty.
This will be a lesson in Survival, Support, Diplomacy, Culture and Traditions.

Here's what Gavin says: "Aged 60 years old, not in the peak of health, I answered a call for help from my cousin Leven Brown ( holder of several Guinness world records) who was attempting to row the Northwest Passage across the top of Canada and had run into difficulty. I said yes! Seven days to Paulatuk inside the Arctic circle. What followed was an adventure and a series of life lessons which included listening, politics and diplomacy; influenced by not only cultural differences and local traditions but also by a house fire. Three weeks of keeping my nerve and reassuring those around me. Then a race across the world. It necessitated me drawing on all my skills and experiences from a child being brought up on the Isle of Mull, to my 35 years as an Innkeeper at Knockomie."

Refreshments will be served before and after the event.

Doors: 6.15pm
