I gave a talk yesterday for the Wirral Ancient Egypt Society, which meets in Meyer Hall in Bebington. Joseph Meyer was a local jeweller and philanthropist, and he built Meyer Hall as an art gallery and assembly rooms for the local community.
I managed to take some of the actual embroideries with me, so that the members could see in person what I had spoken of, even though the photographs came across very well on the screen.
As far as I could tell, all the attendees enjoyed themselves, and the questions they asked during the teas and coffees, and during the formal Q&A afterwards did suggest that they'd been engaged and interested. It's always a pleasure when someone asks a question you hadn't anticipated and have to think about!
The coaster you seen in the photograph was a commemorative gift for the speaker, which is lovely, and sitting ready beside me as I type!
