Sponsoring Clive Myrie at The Autumn Stratford Literary Festival

We are delighted here at CG Optical, to be supporting the Stratford Literary Festival once again in its Autumn season.

Clive Myrie will talking about his latest book Everything is Everything on Friday 27 October 7.15pm at The Crowne Plaza Hotel.

Subtitled A Memoir of Love, Hate and Hope, the newsreader, Mastermind presenter and war reporter charts a career from paper rounds in Bolton to the pinnacle of news broadcasting, reflecting on race, class and how he refuses to be defined by his background. He'll talk about how his family history has influenced his view of the world, and on how being black has affected his perspective on issues he's encountered in 30 years reporting on some of the biggest stories of our time, most recently from Ukraine.

The Stratford Literary Festival is a registered charity with aims to encourage a love of books and writing, and to use books and writing to educate, improve well-being and increase the life skills that reading and writing can bring.

The event fits perfectly with the good work we like to support in the Community.

Morgan Jackson Pro Golfer

Talented Pro-Golfer - Morgan Jackson

Morgan Jackson started playing golf at the age of 11, but by 16 he was playing for Warwickshire County Golf and Warwickshire County Cricket. He had to decide on career path and dedicate his efforts to one sport. Morgan chose golf which he found more enjoyable. In truth he found the process of team selection for Cricket too stressful. Morgan was born and raised locally attending, Stratford upon Avon High School, and Henley College to study Sports & Science, he went on to a PGA degree in conduction with Belfry Golf and Birmingham University. Morgan turned pro golfer at the age of 22.

For a couple of years we supported Morgan's career and made sure his sight was looked after, which is very important for anyone but especially a professional sports person.

Morgan offers high level Golf Coaching at The Welcombe Golf Club or Warwickshire Golf Indoor Simulator; you can follow him on social media @mjacksongolf
