About me...
I was educated at Cheltenham, the University of Oxford (Wadham College), and at the University of Leeds. Between 1972 and 2004 I was a teacher of history, and, later also of economics in secondary schools, and was a head of department from the age of thirty-three. My talks on local political, religious and military history are always put into a national and international context.
About my Talks...
My talks are about an hour long and are illustrated with power-point slides. I have two projectors and two laptops, though I’m quite happy to use the host organisation’s equipment when available. In fact I have a portable screen, but, if you have a screen and can hook it up to my computer by employing my memory-stick, that would be the better idea.
Fee:
My standard fee is £40.00, which is used to cover petrol expenses. However, for clubs with more than 100 members and venues outside a 40 miles radius of Lancaster, my fee is £60.00. I am prepared to give talks across the north-west of England, from Carlisle to Cheadle. Also, I am a frequent visitor to Gloucestershire, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and Sussex, so, I can speak in any of those areas.
