Mary Bodfish - Public Speaker

All of my talks last 50 - 60 minutes. I use either slides or overhead transparencies for illustrations and I provide all of my own viewing equipment. I appreciate the provision of a screen and either a projector stand (for slides) or a table. I'm happy to travel within a 15 mile radius of Smethwick in the West Midlands, but will go further if the M5 or M6 can be used. I am available daytime and evenings.
