I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year, certainly the Centre was active with the annual Boxing Day paddle.  We  dropped in gifts by boat and by walking to our local lock keepers. Also our January staff padle down swift ditch ( thank you Ed and Kevin ). Now we are setting final arrangements for the full staff training day on the 29th January. The day is for all staff / helpers at the centre to get together and find out about whats going on and have opportunities to try new things whilst being brought up to date. So please pass the message out to friends and colleagues,  looking forward to catching up with you. Important issues this time will be constructing the VISION of the Centre as well as launching the new brochure.
