ANOTHER SPECIAL!

I posted on 2nd May about preparing a special, individual version of my canals talk for a local boat club.

By a strange co-incidence I've now been asked to give the same talk to a group in Wiltshire, not in person of course but via Zoom.

This has entailed yet another 'special' version to include the canal local to their area, in this case the Kennet & Avon Canal and the famous Caen Hill lock flight.

I have another version in the pipeline, this time for the Friends of Pudsey Roller.

Their special interest is the steam roller but steam never really caught on as a canal boat propulsion method although I've managed to include at least one steam-powered boat in the talk.

Another new client for my talks is the Oulton Manor Care Home who have booked me to do a whole series of talks, starting last month with one a month planned up to the end of the year.

So far we've done Crime and Punishment and Wonderful Things, with Model Villages and the Gunpowder Plot in the pipe -line.

It is a truly beautiful venue and it's a pleasure talking to the guests there.

August and September are  proving to be a very busy time with no less than eighteen talks booked over the two months, plus I'm also going to repeat my guided walk around Pontefract on the 20th as part of the Pontefract Civic Society's Heritage Weekend.
