We wondered what had happened to you.  It was very informative, and our new venue is better than the previous one, staff very helpful too.  Pity there weren't many there though.

I meant to ask you Annie, what was the reason for the change of venue?

you would have to ask wouldn't you david - I made a muck up of the booking at Mayfield (requires 2 weeks notice and I left it too late, and even speaking to the supervisor there was no way they would do it - they need to give notice to the person on the desk [?])  :-[  They were very helpful at Raploch Community Campus, and it seemed quite nice, only problem being you are not allowed to take any of your own catering there ie have to order from them even tea/coffee/biscuits. Was not too dear though.

LOL, don't worry Simon!  The Mayfield is not exactly luxurious, but it does the job.  The Raploch was a fine replacement of course, so it's good that we've got both options available for future.

I think they are the same price but the Mayfield allows us to use the kitchen and take in our own food.  The Raploch provides tea/coffee and affa fine biscuits
