Feedback from an Open Heritage Day talk on George Corson: I thought the presentation was one of the best I have heard. The speaker was clear, entertaining and very informative and delivered his slides in a very interactive way. I would definitely attend any other event he presented. Thanks to Heritage Open Days and Leeds Civic Trust for organising this.'

Feedback from a recent Grand Canyon talk: On behalf of everyone present, a big thank-you for such a wonderful presentation this morning. We all really enjoyed hearing about your adventure. Exhilarating indeed! There was lots of interest, evidenced by so many questions, and there have been many favourable comments. Thanks again for stepping in at short notice. I am sure we shall be inviting you back in the future. Meanwhile, keep travelling!
