Trying to out-do 'The Way'

We gave our Camino talk after my churches AGM yesterday, a bit nerve wracking for me, we told a few of our camino moments, a few slides(some stolen from falcon, thank-you) asked this morning if we had put anyone off, no quite the opposite......so you can expect an immediate increase in numbers & not from the USofA.......as seems to be happening with the film :wink: .

It great to get our camino moment out in the open......we also made a Spanish omlette & a Santiago Tart, yes people have sweet teeth don't they.

Who else has tried to increase numbers & how did you fair........people had smile on their faces from beginning to end

Has no one else willing too tell about talking publicly too an audience...... :?:
I was surprised how much interest there was, & not just saying thanks & good bye.
I am not a natural speaker & found I got terribly nervous about it.

This is our first slide because our Camino started @ Astorga @ 0430 just as the moon was setting.
& our last slide:

Abbeydore,
there is some feedback on someone else's presentation in this thread
My local film club are thinkiing of showing The Way and there is a suggestion that I do some sort of presentation at the event. I too am not a very confident public speaker but I'm sure a passion for the subject and good supporting media will make it go ok, if it happens.
Cheers

Mig,

We only showed about 20 odd slides, & 2 of those were of my silly doodles,
I think they enjoyed our Camino moments, doing it as a double act is tense too, my partner was in her element, we got some sort of balance. I could go on, but talked about preparing & how this forum helped to get things right, like socks, vasoline, muslin, size & weight of everything, & of course our pacerpoles got a mention. The albergues, the food, the plants, trees, how the 'obnoxious' people seem to keep finding you, & how the ones you like seem to never find, Santiago & the Cathedral, feet.....water, getting wet & very cold.......a few other memories/camino moments & that's about it.

Thanks for the link, Mig.
