I'm not normally one to blow my own trumpet, but people who book me to give a course do want to know the quality - technical and presentational - of what they're buying. So here, reprinted with permission, is a comment about me that I was cc'd on.
Good morning
Last evening I attended Graham Ellis •[99]s meeting in Melksham and I have to write to say what an excellent presenter he is. Of course, presenting, instructing etc is what he does for a living so he ought to be good but it really was excellent, not in the least pompous and I believe Graham will be a great asset to the work of APU. I take my hat off to anyone who can fill a room to bursting, gather 17,000 signatures on a petition and hold the rapt attention of the audience in the way he did. All the right people were there, Councillors of every flavour, Leader of District Council, those who regularly commute and railway representatives. To put the top hat on it, he quickly assembled a committee drawn from those present (including councillors) who are more than happy to take things further. I would say •[98]watch this space •[99]
Regards
Marion
