This talk brings to life the well-known and certainly the less well known First World War sites in Flanders in a themed way that will appeal to all elements of the audience. "Each time you told us something new you then came again with an entirely different angle. Fantastic"
“Melanie’s talk is not all mud and trenches. Fascinating!” – Farnborough WI.
"It's great for family history background. Research so often touches on the First World War". "This will really help us plan our touring holiday." "The topic was very well researched, Melanie had good quality photographs and delivered her talk in a meaningful, well-spoken and poignant manner" - Lyminge History Society.
About Melanie Gibson-Barton
I am a full-time speaker with 10+ years experience and give talks in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. I have the pleasure of regular repeat bookings.
I charge a competitive, fully inclusive fee - I do not charge per mile - and I bring all my own equipment - including a screen and a natty sound system - so your audience will hear my talks. I currently offer seventeen talks and several of these talks were originally commissioned by groups, such as The Canterbury Cathedral Friends Society.
As well as venue talks throughout the South East - and beyond! - I can also provide my talks via my own Pro-Zoom, nationally and internationally.
You can book me with confidence that I will provide your audience with a professional, informative and entertaining presentation, accompanied by colourful powerpoint slides. I bring all my own equipment for venue talks - I'm entirely self-sufficient! - so you can sit back and relax.
Please find here just a few of my currently seventeen talks.
