At the very tail end of last month, we ran a MySQL course back in the old training centre rather that at Well House Manor - quite simply, we're getting busier with external bookings as well as our own courses, and now that we have three conference rooms we can mix and match as appropriate. The "Old 'un" still works well and we've now got enough furniture and equipment to book fully.
That day, I was giving the MySQL at "404" and Lisa was downstairs there in "Command Central". Christine, Leah and Martin [alphabetic order!] were on their own at "The Manor" - something we consciously let happen so that they can take on the roles and responsibilities. It's both staff development in their interests and broading out who can do what in Lisa's and mine.
So - in shortly Lisa and I head up to Finland to run a course up there, and to see the Friday evening nightline in Helsinki. There's hotel bookings ... there's people around, and we feel confident that issues that come up will be dealt with and the place will be in safe hands.
