 I've has another request for my Canals talk, necessitating yet another variant, this time for the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation.

The Strawberry Island Boat Club want the talk in May, having heard about it via the South Yorkshire Boat Club who I spoke to last September.

I now have as many variants of this talk as I do for Remembrance:

A general version, a Yorkshire one, one for Bradford, another for Wiltshire and one for Barnsley - plus the Aire and Calder and the Don Navigation versions.

                      Narrowboat 'Friendship'

Around the World with Ten Famous Monuments or Buildings has been this year's most popular talk by far and has been very well received by a variety of audiences.

This year has also brought me a number of new clients, including the Darfield Wesley Companionship Group;  Honley Civic Society; Honeybunch Women's Club and the Cambridgeshire & Huntingdonshire Family History Society, in addition to my regular and much valued clients such as Thornton Antiquarian Society; the Howden and Pontefract Probus groups and the Castleford Historical Society.
