BOOKING SLIDE SHOWS
Most of my slide presentations are given in the counties of Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire and Sussex (southern England) - maximum radius from Southampton of about 60 miles.
Within this area, my fee for 2006 is GBP 40.00 , plus a mileage rate which can vary with petrol costs.
However, I sometimes make lecturing trips further afield if accommodation can be arranged.

My Contact Details and
other Links
I provide all the equipment required for each show : projector(s), screen(s), projector stand, extension lead, etc. All I require is a room containing a standard 3-pin socket and an audience! Good blackouting is essential on all but the darkest evenings.
I am glad to accept bookings by e-mail (preferably with alternative dates). I will always send confirmations of such bookings.
Or e-mail me for an illustrated ‘hard-copy’ brochure which includes a page of unsolicited testimonials.
Initially, please send me an e-mail stating your location (county/state and country) and listing the books you require.
I will then calculate postage and packing costs and e-mail you my address and an invoice for the full amount.
On receipt of a UK cheque or International Money Order in GB Pounds, I will immediately forward your order.
I regret that I cannot take credit cards or currencies other than Sterling.
