One of the lectures that I periodically deliver is entitled Girls In Nelson's Navy. It relates the experiences of the women who sailed with their menfolk facing the dangers and privations of naval life at that time together with the story of the women who disguised themselves and served as as seamen. It is a fascinating story and should it be of interest to I will be pleased to hear from you. Yours faithfully Gordon Bentley Hello Mr Greener

I was on board Queen Victoria recently and attended one of the lectures (Titanic and Her Sisters). One of the lectures that I periodically deliver is entitled Girls In Nelson’s Navy. It relates the experiences of the women who sailed with their menfolk facing the dangers and privations of naval life at that time together with the story of the women who disguised themselves and served as as seamen.
It is a fascinating story and should it be of interest to I will be pleased to hear from you.

Yours faithfully

Roger gave us a fascinating and 'hands on' and cultural insight into the development of the music scene in the late 50's and early 60's in what was such a milestone in all our lives. Roger's response to one of the questions raised at his lecture was that being on board the Queen Victoria for him and Camilla was "like being on Honeymoon" How true he was! Roger's iconic elegance and timeless repertoire encompassed our celebration. We were sad to leave Queen Victoria but will always remember our time with affection.
