'It was the most fabulous place because I was amazed at the quality of care taken to provide everything for our needs! Everyone enjoyed the day so much – especially me as the tutor!

At most trainings as you probably are aware, we often stay in the (often cold) sportshall and sit on hard benches, and if there is a theory room it is usually too far to use. Very often I have to use my own flipchart pad and there is never such a welcome with the helpfulness of the stadium staff!

I thought I had died and gone to heaven!!! Please arrange another course there asap – what about a level 2 – there are several candidates on this course who want to do the next one!
