I wonder if I might be able to interest you in one of my talks? If you have already seen my talk in the last couple of years, I have increased my “portfolio” of talks to include eight and I have given over 100 talks in the last year, and have a further 75 booked for this year and beyond.
I’m a self published author and winner of “Best in World Cookbook Memoir” in 2017. I live on the Berkshire/Hampshire border but am now considering offering my talks to a wider audience of U3A members towards your area.. If I am able to group a couple of U3A talks in your area within the same week for example, I could then reduce my mileage costs since I shall be able to combine other groups at the same time. The fee for my talk is £80 and my normal mileage expenses are 32p per mile. However, since I shall be already within a shorter radius of your U3A club, I am aiming to be able to charge only £20.00 for my mileage costs with the intention of booking other U3As in your area. I shall be approaching other U3A groups this week to see if this is possible, and if you feel this is something you might also be able to consider, then please do let me know and perhaps we can match dates with other groups in your area in order to make it cost effective (on both sides)!!! I would love to be able to give other U3A groups the chance to hear my talks, and attach testimonials from my local U3As.

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 have proved to be very popular to a cross section of both male and female as I talk not only (about the recipes which my grandmothers wrote in their book, but their history, the provenance and the reason my British family were living in India in 1798) but also cover the history, development and involvement which my great grandmothers’ husbands had in the Military, the Railways, Telegraph, Education during the 19th century right up to 1947 in India.
I offer eight talks, which range from:
Five generations of my Anglo-Indian family seen through the eyes of their granddaughter
My ancestors and their professions in the British Raj
My great grandmothers’ cookbook and their recipes
The memsahibs and their servants
A Grandmother’s Legacy – Serendipity follows me (the journey as author of my ancestor’s memoir cookbook and its many coincidences)
Family History talk on my British family and why they were in India for five generations
Great Aunt Constance’s trek out of Burma in 1943 (a middle class memsahib with no alternative but to walk 1,000 miles to India)
My own travels around India thirty years ago (amusing vignettes and stories combining omens, superstitions and cultural beliefs)

Hello Jenny,
I just wanted to say thank you very much for your fascinating talk on Tuesday evening – we had many positive comments afterwards. Not many people have such a wealth of material about their families – I can’t imagine how much time you must have spent researching.
It was lovely to meet you and thanks again.

Dear Jenny,
I would like to thank you for the most interesting talk regarding your family and the wonderful way in which they had developed a piece of India history through their records of photos, paper clippings, and of course the cookery book. Your presentation of the story was excellent, very calm with a relaxed professional manner, including the funny little family anecdotes which were also expressed within your story.
We look forward to your next visit to us for a follow up talk.
Once again thank you for such an interesting talk.
With best regards

Dear Jenny
What a great history lesson!! Thank you again for such a brilliant talk. Absolutely fascinating stories of your career and development into your book and your travels back over where your ancestors lived and worked. I am sure those coincidences were not just that, but what as a Christian, I would call God moments and you were following your destiny paths.
Congratulations on your award winning book and as there was great interest in obtaining copies, will you eventually do a reprint run or would you just suggest trying to get copies from EBay or Amazon? the book is obviously recording so much of the history during the British Raj rule and appealing to our academics in our U3A.
I forgot to ask if you have any places left on your Indian tour and if you do, could you please email your poster electronically so I could publicise it more specifically in my notes I send out after our monthly talks.
Thank you again and yes I will arrange another talk please but this may work out in a year’s time or creep into 2021!
In the meanwhile, thank you for such an enjoyable afternoon and very best wishes for every success with all three wishes.

Hi Jenny
Thank you so much for stepping in at short notice and giving your talk to Mid Bucks (Aylesbury) U3A.

All the best
