David enjoys giving talks to interested groups.  He has a range of subjects which are listed below (the most popular are towards the top).  For a talk in person he charges £50 plus travel expenses, so the fee goes up to £100 for the furthest parts of north and east Cornwall.  Beyond that please contact David to ask for his fee.  For zoom talks David charges £40 for a talk of up to one hour and £60 for up to two hours. 

This is a recent testimony after a talk: "Well David, that was amazing! Thank you so much, everyone was very impressed by your photography, knowledge and humour. I’ve never seen our group so animated and with so much enthusiasm after a talk."
