EB - Haywards Heath - September 2024
⭐ "Thank you for your kind email and for your very professional presentation and talk. You got the balance right. The breaking up of the film into small segments so it reinforced the story you had just told worked very well. I received comments about the high quality of the filming.
We enjoyed your company and good luck with your other talks."

⭐ "Ian , thank you for your time with us today.
I will send a further panegyric tomorrow, but I wanted to acknowledge today your efforts and skills.
As I said to a prospective new member present today - It won't get better than this. In spite of my warning, he has joined.
It was a thrill and I have had three members write to me praising your 'excellent' talk."

⭐ "Ian, good morning. Fantastic talk last night - well done!!!
I had three notable members come up to me at the end, saying that was the best sailing/racing talk they had ever seen.
I made copious notes last night, and would like to write a Talk Report, could you kindly send a selection of pictures for inclusion? Ideally large waves, Southern Ocean, or equipment, that sort of thing ....
Thank you for entertaining our Members!"
