"Peter
successfully 'reached' and entertained his audience,
with a suitably fitting topic. Student,. parents and
teachers informed me how much they enjoyed his speeches."
-
Gary Prickett, Mountain Creek SHS
"Peter
Meares provided the after-dinner address to the fathers
[at a Father & Son Literacy Weekend] by reflecting
upon his literary and broadcasting experiences throughout
his varied professional life. The range of experiences
addressed, humour and humility enabled Peter to connect
very well with his audience. The fathers were intensely
interested in his stories, observations and encounters
with sportspeople around the World and the developments
that resulted in the authoring of his books.The connections
between sport, commentary, broadcasting and literature
were well established and served to inspire the fathers
to share reading and discussion of sprorting events
or achievements with their sons."
- Peter Collin, Anglican Chruch Grammar School.
