While most of the Wey & Arun Canal Trust volunteers are on a break during lockdown, one group is seeing demand for their services increase. The talks team have been giving online presentations throughout the pandemic as groups and clubs have turned to virtual meetings instead of face to face gatherings.

Zoom technology means they can broadcast their presentations across the UK and the team have been entertaining clubs and groups as well as other Canal Trusts as a result.

Talks can be adapted to suit a group’s interest and ages, and can include a Q&A session.

If you would like to request a speaker for your club or group, please go to https://weyarun.org.uk/content/request-speaker or email john_dodwell@weyandarun.co.uk.
