Location: Altrincham, Greater Manchester
About me...

I am a teacher by profession and returned to academe twelve years ago, gaining an MA, at Manchester University’s Centre for Jewish studies. I have served on two different Sacres, (Standing advisory committees for Religious Education) in Bolton and Trafford and am a member of the Altrincham Interfaith group, writing regularly for the local newspaper, The Altrincham Messenger’s ‘Thought for the Week’.

About my talks...

I am experienced speaker whose talks are light, entertaining and informative, peppered with anecdotes both from my writing and my own life. Most of my talks don’t involve power point but I sometimes bring hand-outs, memorabilia or artefacts to illustrate my stories. For this reason I do like a lectern which leaves my hands free and a mic., with a roving one for audience questions too, if possible.

I can give the talks as a virtual delivery (zoom).

Fee:

My fee is £85 and travel expenses on top, for return journeys of over 10 miles

It Wasn't All About the Pankhursts

An in-depth, illustrated talk about the suffragette movement and other, conflicting movements of the time.

This talk can be given as a Powerpoint presentation providing the venue can provide a projector and screen.  The talk is equally as effective when given as a Stand Alone presentation which makes it suitable for After Lunch and After Dinner functions.

Please note! This is NOT only for women’s groups.
