I just would like to say thank you so much for such an awesome talk last Monday! People are still talking about it, sharing the knowledge that was shared with us and walking round with an enhanced pride in their culture and history! It was such an insighful evening, where we learnt so much, so I would just like to say thanks again, and we would love to have you back so you will be hearing from us !
