The Last Training Session - for now

Unfortunately, Gavin and I have reached the final day of our training sessions here at Dukes Orchard. I have been told that a 'refresher' session is in the early stages of planning so you will probably see us again. We have certainly enjoyed your company.
Well done to all those of you who attended. I know some of you particularly liked the session of on-line shopping. This will be especially useful when the weather is too nasty to venture out.
The mentors, Shirley, Annette and Barbara will still be coming so you are not to be left without help. The 'how to' folder and the help cards will remain here as well. You are also free to email me if you are desperate!
Gavin and I now go on to other schemes so that the people there can be given the same training. However, I do get a week off to watch le Tour de France before we go to our next site.
All the students who attend the last session here are to be given a free memory stick and a certificate. Those who miss the last session will receive their certificate and memory stick somehow.
I am also developing a series of slide shows that will guide you through some more things. I will arrange to put them on the computers in due course.The first slide show, about booking a EuroTunnel crossing is about a week from being ready.
Good luck and health to all of you.
