Peter from the start was very amiable and adapted to the earlier start time and humble dais. His presentation was excellent in every way, did his homework, very informative, answered all questions, and stayed around for the late meal and interacted with our members. He was refreshing, interesting, obliging and entertaining. Highly recommend.Municpal Works Officers Association
