Talk @ Easthampstead Rotary Club

24th November

After successful talks recently at Sandhurst, Bracknell and Crowthorne libraries, I have been asked to give a talk to the Easthampstead Rotary Club in Wokingham. I will be using our new interview format as the less formal approach seems to be well-received by attendees in the libraries.
