The information was presented well and in a humble manner. There was no boasting despite the hard work, skill and determination involved". Sue - Walk & Talk visitor, March 2026.

"It was fascinating, the passion and breadth of knowledge of the gentleman giving the talk was astounding" . Lilian - Walk & Talk visitor, March 2026
