Hi Rachael,
I hope you don’t mind me contacting you through your website – I was at NATECLA this year and really really enjoyed both your keynote speech and workshop – you have a brilliant presenting style! I tried to nobble you a few times to have a chat, but you have many adoring fans and I thought elbowing them out of the way for my own purposes was very rude 😀 so, alas, we didn’t meet in person.
I’m touching base because I’m the current Chair of the newly revived Scotland NATECLA Branch and we’re gearing up to run our own one-day event in November 2017. I wanted to ask if you might consider a jaunt north to be our own keynote speaker – albeit on a much smaller scale than the NATECLA Conf – effectively it’s our opening talk of the day. I utterly loved your ‘Guilty Secrets of the ELT Classroom’ and think something along the same lines would be a terrific opener to our own day. I would also be delighted to be able to entice someone of your calibre, experience, reputation and presenting style opening our event in Dundee. I very much appreciate it’s a long hike for you, but would be delighted if you would consider coming along. I won’t bombard you with details just now, but please feel free to email me back with a yes/no/more details and we could go from there.
Thanks for time and consideration, I really so appreciate it,
Best Wishes,
Pauline
