Up to Royston Golf club this evening for a splendid meal and an interested and attentive audience. For all my nerves, I found that once I got up to speak, I relaxed and enjoyed telling these nice people all about the strange path that has led me to this point. There were many engaging questions and lots of encouragement. At the end of it all I was given a very welcome cheque for the funds.
After all my fears, I had a really enjoyable evening. I'm really looking forward to a return visit after the expedition.
