THANKS FOR YOUR FEEDBACK

A big thank you to all of you who took the time to respond to our summer school feedback questionnaire. It really is such a great help to the committee when we come to discuss the way ahead and how we can improve on last year’s summer school. Although, the committee all agree that it is going to be a pretty difficult task to do that for next year! We’ve also had some lovely thank you letters and messages.

IT’S GOING TO BE GREAT SO DON’T BE LATE!

Yes, we are busy confirming details for the 2019 brochure and hope to get it out to you early in the new year! The Special Early Bird Booking Discount closes on Saturday 27th April 2019!.
