"On behalf of the club, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for a most enjoyable evening. Regretfully, I could not attend at the last moment, but from what I have heard from club members, they really enjoyed the evening. They found your talk very interesting and your slides inspiring. I certainly hope we can invite you back to the club on a further occasion. Again, thank you".
NAMIBIA TALK
Alton Camera Club. Dec '11.

"A belated thank you for your talk at Solent Camera Club two weeks ago. As you hopefully gathered from the audience on the day, it was well received and your various techniques and tricks got us all thinking of how we can develop our photography".
NATURE IN CLOSE-UP TALK
Solent Camera Club, Southsea. Nov '11.

"...many thanks for a first class evening, and we hope we can ask you to be part of a future winter programme in due course ".  
BOTSWANA TALK
Lymington & District Naturalists' Society. Oct '11.

"The quality of your photography is excellent with its interesting and varied lighting effects and viewpoints. I shall never forget the mushroom that looked about eight feet tall. You may be familiar with the work of Stephen Dalton with whom you share an outstanding ability to arrest the movement of insects in flight. I hope you enjoyed your visit and that you feel you may like to return to us at some time in the future"
NATURE IN CLOSE-UP TALK
Littlehampton & District Camera Club. Sep '10.

"Your pictures showed us the skill required to develop your technique to capture tiny details. We enjoyed your descriptions of your technique using flash. We appreciated the results: pictures which showed the details and pictures which were wonderful photographs in their own right. You illustrated the benefits of perseverance to master your skills. You also taught us a great deal as part of your commentary, showing understanding and knowledge of your subject matter. We appreciated too, your clarity in answering questions....We shall remember with pleasure the images you presented..." NATURE IN CLOSE-UP TALK
Salisbury Camera Club. Sep '10.

"Thank you for the marvellous talk last night. The photographs were amazing. So many great tips... Will be contacting you soon about the next visit!"
NATURE IN CLOSE-UP TALK
Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust, Arundel, Supporters  Group. Feb '10.

"It was a pleasure having you back last Wednesday to give Marwell Photographic Group another of your talks. This time, we were captivated with your presentation on 'Nature in Close-up'. Your images were stunning and was great to see many of the insects at 'eye level view'. We were inspired by your talk and I am sure many of us will be trying out, for ourselves, your methods of working. If you do decide to set up any workshops in the field, I will be the first to put my name down to attend. Many thanks, Andrew; we look forward to another presentation in the future."
NATURE IN CLOSE-UP TALK
Marwell Photographic Group. Jan '10.

" ...I would like to thank you, firstly for 'stepping into the breech', when our speaker for the evening could not attend... We all thoroughly enjoyed your talk and presentation on wildlife, flora and fauna in the Galapagos Islands. Thank you for making it so interesting for our club members. Once again I extend my thanks to you".
GALAPAGOS TALK

"Every talk we have is of interest to us all and we all learn something. However I've had more comments than usual about how wonderful your presentation was, both the commentary and
the splendid photos...".
WILDLIFE OF BOTSWANA TALK
Portsmouth Cathedral Club. Mar '08

"...thank you very much indeed for your presentation to the Society on Tuesday, and for sharing with us your visit to these unique and fascinating islands.

I am pleased that you have other talks we can enjoy on a future occasion...".
GALAPAGOS TALK
