I’m delighted to spend a few days in a part of the country giving talks (not necessarily on the same subject) to more than one society, which helps to defray travel costs.  Please talk to me, and your neighbouring societies.

I have a rich collection of images for all lectures and would be happy to supply supporting images for lectures if you get in touch.
