Words From Groups and Societies
Thank you from us all for giving such a marvellously entertaining and interesting talk on alpines. With such a personalised welcome to our club and the music at the end, leaving us with colourful memories of the plants growing in many tough areas..

As a retired Senior Commercial Business Manager in 3 x PLC’s and in my earlier career - a trainer in “Making Effective Presentations” it was so impressive last evening to experience and enjoy a “True Professional at Work”

Feedback was all very positive and I am pretty sure the new programme organisers will be falling over backwards to tempt you back to Welton again..
Thank you
Pam Tatam
Hardy Plant society Lincolnshire Group
Thank you so much for your talk in October, so many members came up to me at our last meeting thanking ME for the talk! The general opinion was that it was probably the best talk you have given us and the best talk we have ever had.
