In 2002 the monthly consumer magazine for Norfolk, Let's Talk ! was launched and Neil has been involved full-time on the editorial side, as well as being responsible for book spin-offs such as Let's Talk! Schooldays (2005).
The talk will be at Dereham Meeting Point (7 for 7.30pm), tickets cost �5 (including refreshments) and can be bought in advance from Alex Noel-Tod on 01362 695943, or at the Parish Office, or on the door.
The other speakers in the 2009 series will be the local historian and writer Neil Storey on March 27, and the former MP for South West Norfolk, Baroness Shephard on April 24.
