As part of our Induction weekend, last Friday we invited our new students to the regional CPD. This time we learned about Coal Mining in Kent and went on a refresher walking tour in Sandwich led by our colleague Yvonne Leach. It was an excellent day and we are very grateful for the hospitality of Betteshanger Park and Elvington and Eythorne Heritage Group! Our colleague Liz Findlay has written a very interesting blog about that day. The link is in comments. Follow the link and you won’t regret!

This weekend saw the Induction of our new South East England Tourist Guide Training Course. We were lucky enough to have two rather chilly but sunny days in the beautiful city of Canterbury. A warm welcome awaited us at Warnborough College and the tea and biscuits were also most welcome. This before venturing out with Blue Badge Guide: Bob Collins on a voyage of discovery from Roman times to present day on our walking tour of Canterbury. An evening at the Foundry Pub with good food and good company rounded off the first day of the weekend. Early Sunday morning and we all met up for our morning panoramic coach tour to the Isle of Thanet led by another Blue Badge Tourist Guide Yvonne Leach. We stopped to visit the Royal Harbour in Ramsgate and the Creative Quarter of Margate – The skies were worthy of any JMW Turner painting - before returning to Canterbury for our afternoon and a visit to St Augustine’s Abbey. A great start for our new students and thank you everyone who was involved and for the great weather!
