The answer: probably not. Reasonable turnout, if they can keep this number up long-term it will be fine.

Got talking with one of the committee members about language and linguistics. It was suggested I could do a talk (or maybe find someone to do one). I am thinking "Where did our language come from?" would be a good one, starting with modern loanwords, then to Latin/Danish, then going backwards towards Germanic and Indo-European. I have no idea whether I can pull this off but it's something to think about.

you'd need to add norman french as well.

Good luck with it.

I'll try and come up with some reading if you want.

That would be cool. Its not likely to be until the summer at least, as they have a fully booked schedule until then. I guess the main thing I would be worried about is being able to answer random questions. (oh, and the whole unamplified public speaking thing).
