Thank you so much for your wonderful lecture to Flamsteed Astronomy Society on Monday. It was a real highlight for us and we had some lovely comments from viewers. I’m sure everyone was applauding appreciatively and enthusiastically at the end of your talk – their comments bear witness to this. Once again, many thanks.
Dallas was a great host throughout the day- he kept the energy throughout and was great with both the adults and children. I always love working with Dallas and hope to do so again in the future.
The performance was excellent, wry, different, entertaining, informative. Dallas was very entertaining and explained things well with lots of humour. Awesome show! More of this, please!
