Further Denman news

Gloucestershire Denman Rep Sue Wilson and I were chairing at our college this weekend, and what fun we had! A great bunch of students in residence - as always - so there was a lively atmosphere and plenty of chatter.

It was good to see the hall redecorated and new furnishings in place - very smart it looks too. I think there are one or two finishing touches to put into place, still, but the new chairs are comfortable and the whole of the bar/drawing room/hall looks very classy indeed. The colours chosen for the decoration are from a lovely warm cream/ochre/terracotta/burgundy palette and though the furnishings are contemporary in style, they blend well with the style of the existing rooms.

Good to see so many first-time students there as well. Of course, the old Denman magic always means that anyone arriving alone on Friday leaves with fifty or more new friends on Sunday, and there were lots of fond farewells and "hope to see you again soon".

What a great place.
