letsavagoo 956 Posted October 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Thanks for the good wishes. It went well. They have local interest talks quite often.. Not a big turnout but apparently the usual crowd turned up plus 2 extras. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,534 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 It's good that all this information is passed on to others.just out of interest,was there any "younger" people there? Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
letsavagoo 956 Posted October 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Well it depends how old you are as to your definition of youngsters but no. I think the youngest attendee was over 70 or thereabouts. About 18 in total. Mostly those who always attend the talks there plus 2 who came specifically as they were interested in the subject. One chap did nod off but the regulars assured me I did well as he stayed awake at least 10 minutes longer than he usually manages. There is apparently a local school who are learning about WW1 who have expressed an interest in the talk so maybe that will work out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 I've been to some of those local history talks at various locations (although I've not yet experienced one by letsavagoo). On more than one occasion I'm certain I was the youngest person there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
