FEEDBACK FROM LECTURES

"Thank you for the wonderful lecture. The members were full of praise and we gave it a rare outstanding rating. As all really good lectures should, yours did more than inform and entertain; it provoked, stimulated and inspired."

CLAIRE POWER  (Chairman, LVDFAS)


"Thank you so very much for a truly great lecture last Thursday. The feed back has all been incredible positive and I think you have made it to the top slot 
for best lecture over the last 12 months.

Members really do appreciate a well-structured talk which is so much easier to follow, and the fact that you are able to impart all your knowledge in such an erudite, 
but ‘easy to understand’ manner means 
you are already on the list for a return visit."

JULIA TARENTO (Grayshott Arts Soc.)


Your lecture was very well received and I’ve heard some wonderful comments. It was interesting to compare Seago with other artists I had never heard of.  It really was superb. Thank you very much on behalf of Woodbridge” 

LINDA COULTON (Programme Sec. Woodbridge Arts Soc.)

(Society member's comment: “Very well researched and articulately delivered with depth and affection.”)


"I wanted to thank you for two wonderful lectures on Tutankhamun. Our members were enthralled and all commented on how well you researched the topic and illustrated that incredible civilisation . . "

ELEANOR FREEMAN (Sydney ADFAS Chairman) 


"I just wanted to personally thank you for your most enjoyable and inspirational lecture this evening on Edward Seago & artists. The hour just flew past and the evening came to a premature close. Tonight's insight was awe inspiring, I've got hooked to google mail looking up some of the works shown this evening and can't wait to get my paints out."


KIM HOWARD (DFAS member)

 

"I want to say a big thank you for a very special lecture and lots of food for thought! We saw friends in the evening and discussed many aspects of your ideas. Comments from the members were also very favourable and the fact that our old audience could hear you so well is a benefit too!"
