Details of talks given by Martin Attridge

Regions:: Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire
Notice Period:: Short (maybe less than one month's notice)
Type:: Hobby
Online Talks:: No, in-person only
Biography:: I have lived with my wife in Harpenden, Hertfordshire for the past 40+ years.

Following a career spent mainly as a commercial training consultant, I looked for other subjects in retirement to occupy my time outside the house.

I decided to research and develop a range of History and Art short talks and they are all very well received.

Now, I have decided to focus on just three subjects; William Hogarth; one of, if not, the finest English artist of any age; Len my ex-racing greyhound, to raise funds for Whittingham Kennels, the charity who first gave him a home post-retirement; and Beguiling Bygones, a fun quiz for smaller groups of 16 to 32, examining and attempting to identify commonplace objects from the past.

I do not use PowerPoint but bring and display large images that have proved to be very popular with numbers from 15 to 150, who like the change of style involved

In addition, I provide a handout for each participant to take away, capturing the key points from each session.
