All of our delegates are special, and 99% of them are a pleasure to teach - but I'll look back on last week's group with a particular fondness.
We've been open and running as a hotel now for a year, and - more and more - our public courses aren't just 9 to 5 events. Rather they're a chance to share code, and experiences and sit down together with a number of your peers in the evening too.
You may have noticed from the picture that Henry was in a wheelchair - and this lead us to provide evening meals at Well House Manor throughout the week; that's very much where we headed anyway for the business visitor who's perhaps had a hard day and really can't be bothered to go out, or the delegate who needs to grab a quick bite and get on with his day to day work in the evening.

| Lisa Ellis: | Indeed, Randal. And when will we see you again, but in our neck of the woods? We are only a half hour from Stonehenge, afterall! (comment added 2007-11-05 14:56:01) |
