Talk 05

SCENIC BUS ROUTES IN WEST YORKSHIRE

Writing my first book

This new talk will share with the audience why I decided to fulfill a lifetime ambition of writing a book about one of my passionate hobbies.

The first part will give a brief account of my interest in buses from an early age up to the present day and how this hobby has remained an important part of my life. I will then relate the inception of the book at a family BBQ and take the audience through the various stages of how you collect the material and the lengthy preparations ready for publication of the book.

The second half of the talk will give the audience a ‘taster of the content. A ‘powerpoint ‘ presentation will highlight the routes chosen for inclusion within the book and give ideas for an interesting day out by public transport.

Finally, copies of the book will be available for members of the audience to scrutinise and purchase directly from the author!

The talk lasts approximately 45-60 minutes (Approx)
