With a whole new program of courses out now all starting in January or February 2018, now could be a great time to get something exciting in the diary. Book here!
And it turns out that the people who go all tend to become pretty good friends too. Either starting a course with friends or making new ones when you get there seems a popular event, as you can hear below.
