Dear Events Organiser,
I wonder if you might like to consider me for any regular club meetings you may have in the future who are looking for guest speakers? I live near Newbury in Berkshire and attach several testimonials from those who have attended and heard my talks as well as a short link to a video showing a talk I gave recently at FIBIS in Oxford.
With over 175 book talks arranged for this year and next with various branches of the U3A, WI, Family History, Probus and Ladies Luncheons in the South of England – I have decided to start approaching clubs further afield. In view of the fact that my ancestors originally came from Mirfield in Yorkshire, I would very much like to do a series of talks in the area of Yorkshire and Humber.
I wondered whether the week commencing Monday 25th May 2020 might coincide with one of your meeting dates? If I was able to book as a firm commitment, then I would be happy to negotiate my fee as well as consider having the mileage costs absorbed by each of the clubs that have booked me.
Perhaps you can kindly advise me if you feel this is something of interest and once I have a better idea of your meeting dates, I can then look at other suitable dates that fit in with my diary of course.
I look forward to hearing from you.

I have recently self published my award winning book which gives a unique insight into a family who were living in India, of British ancestry during the British Raj. My book talks appeal to a cross section of both male and female as I talk about the Railway, Telegraph, Schools and other British institutions set up in India.
I have attached the Foreword in my book which was written by celebrity chef, Cyrus Todiwala OBE which details the background to my book and my personality. I also attached a few testimonies from recent talks I’ve given.
In addition, here is an article written by a journalist who attended one of my book talks in India last year.
A GRANDMOTHER’S LEGACY by Jenny Mallin is a book out of the blue. here comes a delight of a book that effortlessly throws light on the life and times of Anglo-Indians during the prime days of the Raj. Spanning the 19th and the 20th centuries, the story covers the lives of five generations of women of a family, beginning with Jenny’s great-great-great grandma Wilhelmina down to her mother Cynthia who immigrated to Britain in 1952. The narrative revolves around Wilhelmina’s handwritten recipe book containing recipes of over 500 dishes, chiefly Anglo-Indian, which has been handed down and added to from generation to generation. Thus, one is charmed to find classic nuggets of Anglo-Indian life, narrated not impersonally as by a student of community history, but from the first-hand experience of members of one big family. So we have notes on the Railways, the cellular jail in the Andamans, the ‘Indian’ expedition to Mesopotamia during World War I, the Victorian style of dressing in the 19th century, tales of hunting trips, the Orr and Barton studio and Eventide Homes in Bangalore, the marriage between cousins (Shandleys), Poona’s military station, boxing bouts against soldiers, the long walk back from Burma during World War II, wall-posters and Christmas cards in the 1940s, and much more. Jenny Mallin has every reason to call her book a memoir instead of a cookbook, though fans of cooking will also find it a treasure trove.
To offer you further background into my marketing activities, I was recently interviewed by Jenni Murray on BBC’s Woman’s Hour, and have had numerous radio interviews at BBC Radio Berkshire with Bill Buckley and Anne Diamond where I took my Anglo Indian food in for them to try. I have been featured in “The Lady” magazine, “Who do you think you are?” magazine, “Waitrose Magazine” and also “Sainsbury’s Magazine”.
My talks are totally inspirational since they also feature my own story of the journey from concept to writing my book, to finally getting it out there in the world and having success with it. My fee is £80.00 plus mileage at 32p per mile (my postcode is RG20 5ES) but this is negotiable. My talks are generally 45 minutes long with a Powerpoint presentation combining fascinating sepia photographs of an historical and factual nature together with a lively and engaging discussion about my ancestors and their lives in India.
I hope this is of interest to you, and if you wish to contact me my numbers are 01635 299656 and 07854 964886. I look forward to your call.
Kindest wishes,
Jenny Mallin
