Reuben Lynch - From Montserrat to the Midlands

Reuben Lynch is believed to be Britain's first black toastmaster. As we await the arrival of The Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in Summer 2022, we talk to Reuben about his connections to the Commonwealth and his journey from the Caribbean island of Montserrat to his home in Bidford-on-Avon.
If you are currently residing in Warwickshire and have a connection to any of the other 53 countries of the Commonwealth - let us know in the comments - we'd love to hear about it! Please send your story to [e-mail]
