"I am writing to thank you for your talk to the Barry Men's Forum on Thomas Picton his memorials and other follies around Wales.
It is always difficult to find a speaker who appeals to all but I think you will know from the response on the day that you hit the right note with your light hearted and informative approach.
Many Thanks"

“We recently welcomed Graham to our WI for an evening of 'Spooky tales from Wales'.
We dimmed the lights, created the right atmosphere and were suitably spooked listening to the many creepy stories he related to us. Being close to Halloween it was a really great way to spend the evening!”
Christine Synan - Birchgrove WI Cardiff.
Just a quick note to thank you for Monday's lecture - it was excellent and we've had nothing but positive feedback.
If you can cope with the excitement, I may ask you back to do another talk next year!!!!

Graham,
I just wanted to thank you again for a very interesting and entertaining talk yesterday evening. I know all of my fellow Rotarians thorough enjoyed the occasion.
You may recall that in addition to Welsh Legends and Myths I also 'pinched' a copy of Welsh Follies, for which I did not pay. I'm putting a cheque in the post tomorrow together with a hard copy of this email.
Thank you once again.
Kind regards
Hywel Bevan Rotary Club of Crickhowell

Ferryside WI members would like to thank you so much for your interesting and informative talk this evening. Regards Eve Estcourt and members.

On behalf of the Newcastle Emlyn U3A I am just writing to thank you very much for the talk you gave last Wednesday. Unfortunately I was not able to be there myself, but the feedback I have received from those that were was that the talk was very informative and enjoyable. I do hope we may ask you to speak again in the future. Many thanks and kind regards Julia Pearson

A quick word of thanks. Your Iron Masters of Merthyr talk at the Llandeilo Literary Festival was fascinating. You've clearly done a lot of research and I thoroughly enjoyed your entertaining talk. I didn't know Welshmen from Carmarthenshire fought for Bonaparte at Waterloo or about the saluting gun accident when Nelson visited Merthyr. Great Fun. Thanks again.

Cardigan U3a so enjoyed your talk from Novice to Wordsmith which you gave us last July, I wondered if you could come and talk to us again.

Just to say thank you for being our Speaker last night. It was a pleasure to meet you. Everyone I spoke to at the end of the evening said how much they had enjoyed your talk and just the right length. Thank you for making the Club's evening a success.

Hi Graham,
Thank you for your support during World Book Day. Your three talks to the schoolchildren about Welsh Legends and Myths were all well received. The kids loved hearing your stories and teacher's feedback has been extremely positive. The evening talk, about the Iron Masters, you gave to the adults was a sell out and everyone I've spoken to said they enjoyed it.

This year's Rhondda Book Fair was a great success and I would like to thank you for your contributions to the author's discussion panel. You made some very entertaining points and added a sparkle to what became a lively conversation.
