I am a retired rocket scientist with a passion for wildlife, travel, modern technology, photography and SCUBA diving. All these subjects form the basis of the talks I have been providing to U3A groups, Probus clubs, social groups and specialist organisations for many years.
My talks are illustrated with high quality photographs, sound tracks, short vidoes and audio video sequencies.
I am happy to travel reasonable distancies to venues or use video conferencing systems such as Zoom, Teams, Google Meet etc which I can host if required.
The talks I offer are timed at 1hour, but can be adjusted if necessary
