Seminar Leader: Cliff Cobb is from Wimbledon in South London, England and for some forty years ran Kelston Club, a center of Opus Dei for schoolboys which opened in 1964.  The boys would come twice a week with the main emphasis being on study, enhanced by a whole host of sporting and formative activities. Well over twenty schools would be represented in the membership of some one hundred and fifty boys. Professionally, Cliff worked in publishing, and since the 1980’s has specialized on new technologies. Cliff is now the director of Edenbrook, a center in South East London for local families and those who send their children to The Cedars school, where many residents of Edenbrook teach. Since the Covid lockdowns in the UK, Cliff has been writing books on his experiences and knowledge of young people, on catechism, and has recently branched out into writing novels in the genre of spy thrillers, whodunnits and science fiction. These are novels without sleaze, bad language, or bad attitudes, but draw the reader on from page to page. Click here for a full catalogue of Cliff's works.
