Meet the Host, Geoff
Geoff Harris started working as a teacher and taught in a variety of secondary schools all over the UK for ten years before giving it all up and becoming a clown. Really, that is what he did. The clowning led onto other performance areas and he has been seen on a variety of stages and screens ever since. Ten plus years ago he started to train as a Toastmaster and is now a Fellow of the National Association of Toastmasters, working in some of the grandest hotels and houses in the country.
Preparing for the Event
For the best experience, you will need to have Zoom downloaded onto your computer. Please ensure you're connected to broadband/wifi rather than using your mobile phone connection (3G/4G).
We also recommend that pets are either calmly sitting on your lap or in another room, and any refreshments you may require are within your reach!

It was a fascinating talk delivered in a very entertaining way. I loved the way you were able to put forward questions afterwards. It whetted my appetite to go and look further into some of the characters and places mentioned. Thank you!
