We have traced our family back to the mid 1500s in Tewkesbury and the town runs through our veins. I love the complex history of the town from its early days in the 1100's but more interestingly the time that I remember. I cover some of the Business culture and history, the beautiful Buildings and through to the Rivers and the railways which made and in some ways broke the town.

About Richard Chatham

In my life I have gathered a startling range of experiences having been involved with charity and social organisations from the age of 14. These organisations provided such varied milestones working with Royalty, speaking to the largest AGM in Western Europe with 5000 delegates and being awarded the "Best Speaker" accolade, appointed a Senior Marshall for the Ryder Cup, Starter for the European Golf Seniors Tour, and acted as Master of Ceremonies at events from Business Conferences to Weddings. and Local and County chairmanship of such organisations. It all started at the Gloucestershire Federation of Young Farmers Clubs where I learned Public Speaking. I still teach and train youngsters of the YFC and it is rewarding to see the confidence it brings at all ages especially when they win competitions at National Level.

I started after dinner talks some 40 years ago and have spoken at Dinners nationwide. Preparation is so important and I take great care in ensuring that each presentation suits the audience of the day.

I enjoy researching the back ground for my presentations. The talks I give are all about subjects with which I, or close family, have been personally involved so providing that extra bit of information from personal experience or from historic evidence within my possession. I personally research, write and prepare each Presentation myself so providing that extra inside knowledge so important to providing an interesting presentation that flows.
