I'm struggling to find the link on Ning to the NSPCC donation page / site. Could you add the link to the main page again, or email it to me. The trampoline is currently on Ebay so as soon as it sells I'll be 'bouncing' over to the donations page and adding some wonga.

Thanks for the message. I go on leave on Tuesday so will not be attending the next modules - I am picking them up in September. If you want to arrange a meeting ring me on Tuesday on 01270 686505 - if you can't manage that then ring Elaine Edwardson on 01270 686562 - she is my administrator and will know when I'm around. Thanks for your help I really enjoyed the first two days.
PS Should I be registering with the ILM?

I'm in!!!!
Last week was great, I often feel slightly indifferent after such courses but feel really enpowered and enthusiastic... So thanks again and look forward to next week!
Cheers
Gill
