overall aim of it was to (hopefully) make it clearer for you all what
you have got to do and when. We had a Q&A session which seemed to

Thanks Brent for the photos.
It was a truly wonderful residential.
The introduction given by Rup, Alan and Cath was brilliant and funny.
The choice of venue was excellent. The view of the Lake and the
surrounding
beauty was stunning and in all honesty, stole the show.
The course was well organised. I enjoyed the picture drawing

Travel Allowance

2007-08-15T12:06:34Z

allowance has not been totally lost. There is a small amount which
should be received for using your car to get to work and home. Also
