Winchester Soroptimists invite you to a talk on the Post Office Scandal – Thursday October 23rd 2025.
The ITV drama “Mr Bates vs the Post Office” catapulted the Post Office Horizon Scandal into the spotlight last year, highlighting the many years of injustice and trauma experienced by sub-postmasters 
across the country. Despite this and the subsequent enquiry, many sub-postmasters are still waiting for compensation, and the fight for justice continues. On Thursday October 23rd, come and listen to Barbara Jeremiah JP MSc and Dr Kay Linnell OBE, who have both been working with sub-postmasters and campaigning for justice.
As accountants and members of the Justice for Postmasters alliance respectively, Barbara has been involved for over 20 years, and Kay over 14, in seeking redress for those affected. Come and hear all about their work in advocating for restitution and continuing in the battle for compensation for victims, as well as highlighting systemic flaws and working to hold those responsible to account.
Thursday October 23rd 2025, 6.15pm for 7pm, St Swithuns School, Prep School Hall, Alresford Road, Winchester SO21 1HA .
Tickets £28 per person, including drinks and canapes.
Tickets available via Eventbrite Post Office scandal tickets
