Welcome

Message from the Terry Waite CBE, Honorary Chairman

As Honorary Chairman of the Guernsey Literary Festival it is once again my pleasure to welcome you to this lovely island. Although I don't live on Guernsey I look forward to returning each year and meeting old friends and making new ones. 

We owe a special word of thanks to all who help make this Festival possible each year and we are especially grateful to those who sponsor us. It is expensive to stage such a festival as many of the speakers and others have to travel from across the water and that is not cheap. So, thank you all.

I would like to meet as many of you as possible during the Festival so if you see me in the streets of Guernsey be sure to say 'hello'. Have a great week.  

Terry Waite CBE
Hon Chairman
Guernsey Literary Festival
