A light hearted journey through the pleasures and pitfalls of collecting art and antiques.
The challenges we all face when tempted to buy art and antiques.
Why we collect, where one might buy and how to avoid those rascals, the forgers.
Able as part of the event, am able to give informal appraisals (in public or private), of any item members of the audience would like to bring along.
If requested can offer a short, illustrated "guess the value" quiz prior to the presentation
"Just writing to say a very big thank you for your excellent talk to the Lenches WI on Monday. I think you can tell how everybody enjoyed the evening – Such a buzz afterwards. I have had emails from several people wanting to say thank you. All I can say is THANK YOU again – It was a brilliant presentation." Gill Proops

I enjoy providing some 60 talks a year to various diverse groups as Sailing Clubs, U3A's, Women's Institutes, Probus, Friends of Museums and Galleries, Rotary Clubs etc.
As needed, for any of my talks I am happy to help organizations to set up Zoom meetings for their group using my ZoomPro Licence. I am pleased to share "best practice" gained from my experience of being involved in numerous online meetings and presentations
Over 80% of my bookings come through recommendations or are return engagements.
My professional life was spent making presentations to a wide range of groups. Now I am able to use the skills developed when working to enhance my talks about topics that are very close to my heart.
After giving a talk the following words have been used to describe my presentations.
"Fascinating", "extremely interesting and witty", "your talk must be unique: not only that but you speak very naturally" "You are such a positive and inspiring person"
