The Isle of Wight – just a boat ride away, yet a world apart.
Let me show you some of what this fascinating island has to offer, from the famous Osborne House and Carisbrooke Castle to the network of footpaths, the ever-changing coastline and the island’s role as a holiday resort and defensive site.

Childhood holidays. The journey, the beach, the ice cream. Perhaps these are your memories of the Isle of Wight.
That merely scratches the surface. My talk tells the history of the island from the split with England 8,000 years ago and its first inhabitants.
We find out about famous residents, Charles I, Robert Hooke, Alfred Lord Tennyson and of course Queen Victoria.
We explore the footpaths and the coast, and visit places like Newtown, Appuldurcombe House, St. Catherine’s Point and Quarr Abbey.
Hopefully your new memories will be that much richer.
Graham is a regular visitor to our meetings and his talks are always very popular. He displays a great depth of knowledge of his subject, is very professional and informative in his delivery and his talks are illustrated with superb photography.
We have had some very interesting talks from Graham. He really enjoys his subjects and passes his interest and knowledge on to his audiences. Our members certainly look forward to the meetings when Graham is giving a talk.
We have enjoyed several of Graham’s talks and they have always been well presented, interesting and entertaining.
Don’t think he could improve! Excellent in all respects.
If you have any questions about a talk, or if you're interested in booking, then don't hesitate to get in touch.
