Some are delivered by one of us and some by us both.

We bring a laptop and projector and a screen if required.

We usually try to arrive 30 minutes before the start of the meeting to allow time to set up.

We usually ring about 7 days before the event to check everything is OK.

Our current fee is £70 for a standard talk with travel included. Demonstrations may include an extra charge for materials.

We are always looking for new ideas for talks so if your members have a particular subject they would like to hear about let us know and we’ll see what we can do.

We also undertake visits to care homes, Dementia and Visibly impaired groups etc. Please ask for details.

The distance we are able to travel in the evenings is limited, especially during the winter months
