What Are People Saying About Our Talks?
Many thanks for the most informative and entertaining talk on Saltaire. Several people stopped me yesterday to say what a grand evening it was. There were even compliments from a man who hated history! It’s been a long time since we had so many laughs – along with a lot of knowledge! I hope you do not mind, we will be bringing 40 people on April 13th for a guided walk.

Thank you for the wonderful evening you gave us. It was humorous, informative and refreshingly different, all the members are asking for Part 2. You have fired our imaginations.
Chevin Antiques Society, Sally Wilkinson
We would like to thank you and your colleague for the really informative, but great fun, talk and tour you both gave us yesterday. It certainly started our day off in the right way and we continued in high spirits and all thoroughly enjoyed our day at Saltaire.
