Book me to talk to your group

I can give illustrated talks, of about 60 minutes duration on a number of subjects allied to heraldry and genealogy.

For in person talks I am willing to travel within a 50 mile radius of my home in Hertfordshire.

I use PowerPoint for my presentations so ideally need computer and multimedia projector, and microphone, if required, at the venue. I charge reasonable speaker rates plus travelling expenses.

I regularly speak to local branches of the U3A, Rotary and family history societies and am happy to answer any queries or questions at the end of each talk.

If you have a particular topic of interest, please let me know your requirements.

If you are interested in booking me for your club or group please contact me by email or at the address on this website.
