Plumpton Review
The definition of a new start to this New Year has been demonstrated by all our returning students from last year’s Woodcroft venue. When one door closes another opens. Whilst I was a fish out of water in week one, I can gladly say I felt more at home in week two. Thank you to all the staff, our newbies and all our loyal students. Woodcroft was home for over 2 decades but we have been blessed with our wonderful new venue.
