United Kingdom: Final project meeting in the UK July 2014

 United Kingdom: Final project meeting in the UK July 2014
Having been a part of three successful mobilities beforehand it was now our turn to host the partners.

A lot of planning and preparation went into this and as it is in England then there was a Plan A (good weather) and a Plan B just in case it rained :-)

We felt it was important to have a flexible itinerary dependent upon the weather and to allow our guests to  stay longer at a venue if they wanted.

We started with a 'Welcome' concert before doing the customary presentations of the work done since our last meeting.
