“I’ve read it all, though it took two sittings. This
is an unusual action for me these days! But I congratulate you most warmly
on your obviously considerable contribution for NIACE because that is how
I view it.
Very well done indeed.”
Sir Roy Harding
President of NIACE (1988-1994)
“I have just received a copy of ‘A Passion for Learning
and wanted to offer my congratulations on its publication.
… I can appreciate how much work must have gone into the venture …
I particularly like the way each chapter is set out, ending with a
photograph of the author …”
Peter Boshier
Essex
“I was delighted to receive (A Passion for Learning) from
NIACE. The main contributions … help to make this book a compelling
history of the adult education movement since the foundation of the
British Institute of Adult Education in 1921.”
Ted Parker
Barking and Dagenham
“The arrangement of the material is very intelligent and
apt, so that we can browse and dip in at different times for as soon as
one starts reading, fresh memories arise and nostalgia takes over.”
Henry Arthur Jones
Leicester
“An excellent piece of work … well produced and, really
it parallels my own life in adult education … Congratulations and many thanks.”
Bernard Godding
Norfolk
“A belated and overdue message … to say to you
congratulations, I think the ‘Passion for Learning’ is such an
attractive volume - very, very nice piece of collective work and thanks to
you for leadership and encouragement. It really does look good and reads
well. Many thanks.”
Brian Groombridge
London
“I do feel that you (Howard Gilbert) and Helen (Prew)
have every right to be quietly very pleased about the publication ….”
Don Grattan
Buckinghamshire
“Many thanks … for the copy of the NIACE volume which
came yesterday, I can’t say that I’ve done more than leaf through it
so far, but it looks highly appropriate and the bits I’ve read are
enjoyable. Congratulations.”
Konrad Elsdon
Nottingham
“At first glance it looks fascinating and already it has
revived numerous memories for me. I shall look forward to reading it at my
leisure.”
David James

“Good to see you at the celebration … and
congratulations on that (publication) effort. I think it’s been very
imaginatively presented and produced.”
