HOW TO BOOK A TALK
All talks/workshops can be booked initially by e-mail or telephone. I am available for both daytime and evening talks.
FEE: £55 plus travel costs. Fees for workshops are proportionately more and by negotiation.
I will require a screen or good blank wall on which to project as all talks are Power Point based AND you should also provide an extension lead with TWO sockets. Please advise if your venue has projection facilities into which a laptop connection can be made. Wi-Fi internet access is not usually needed.
All Talk bookings must be confirmed by e-mail or letter and programme organisers must provide details of venue (address, postcode etc.) I have Sat Nav.
