Feedback from organisers of talks
Repeat bookings ~ Richard's standard Splendid Isolation introductory talk can be followed up with a second talk, and so far 16 organisations (including Probus and WIs) have booked a 2nd talk.

From Nicky Fisher ~
...thank you for giving the North Cheriton WI such a fascinating and enjoyable talk. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and went away wanting to know more. So much in fact that all those who were there last week asked if I could book you for your other talk for our 2008 programme. We would like to open up the evening to everyone in the village as we feel it would be of interest to a much wider group than just the WI!

From Jan Hewitt from Taunton Orchard Ladies Probus Group ~
...thank you so very much for giving us such a wonderful and enlightening introduction to these very special islands (in September 2007). It says it all that we have invited you to share more of your knowledge and experience with us.

From Jinny Addison-Smith following a successful audition for Devon WI in Exeter ~
All most impressed - will be suggesting you for the larger group meetings as well.

From Angela Hawkins from East Dorset Group WI ~
...thank you for a most enjoyable and informative presentation on Tristan da Cunha. I knew very little about the island so found the information, with the wonderful slides and your knowledge, extremely interesting. I am sure we will meet again to hear one of your follow-on talks.

From the Central Somerset Gazette re Ashcott and Pedwell WI ~
Our speaker was Richard Grundy who arrived early to set up his stare-of-the-art video (sic) equipment and was able to join us in the singing of Jerusalem. Mr Grundy is an expert on the island of Tristan da Cunha....and is full of enthusiasm for all aspects of life there - its history, wildlife and all the activities of the human population, even their annual "ratting" day and subsequent "longest tail" competition. All this made for an exciting and educational series of slides.

Newspaper report from Milverton WI following the second talk ~
Richard Grundy spoke enthusiastically, with excellent slides, about the remote island of Tristan da Cunha.....The integrated curriculum in St Mary's School, where Mr Grundy taught, includes 'hands-on' geography, mountain climbing, fishing in deep pools for octopus/catfish, water skills, mapping, scientific study of the rockhopper penguin...etc Many questions were asked and ....thanked Mr Grundy for an instructive, entertaining and well illustrated talk.
