KIRKY Posted 2 January , 2004 Share Posted 2 January , 2004 Well done. You sound like a greast chap with loads of energy and a great interest in WW1. I have done one such presentation to my sons school and like you they enjoyed it as much as I did! However, they did not want me to take in my deac rfle or relic rifle which is a shame as thery are stunning collectables and relics. Great to see your entries, far too often the postings are a little serious (even stuffy) and although often the topics are serious we need a balance. Hope you enjoy your new Xmas present, do not do an 'If' ! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Gibson Posted 2 January , 2004 Share Posted 2 January , 2004 Trenchie, Glad to hear that you had a good time. Just one thing to offer about the 6p's principle. When in the forces I was always warned that no matter how well prepared you were and followed the 6p's there is always the chance of a curved ball being thrown so there was a 7th 'p' added and this one was 'POSSIBLY'. Keep up the good work and never let your enthusiasm wane Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Posted 12 January , 2004 Share Posted 12 January , 2004 Martin I wish we had been lucky enough to have someone like you give a talk at my school, I may have become interested in WW1 at an earlier stage.
