The holiday exceeded my expectations!

I hope you feel delighted with all that was achieved in those happiest of three days last week at Spicers. I am so pleased I could come, and it so exceeded my expectations. Everyone was charming and had a story to tell, and a warmth that was very endearing. I really hope to join you on another occasion.

I loved every minute of it Joan - thank you so much! It's great that your weekly lessons are reinforcing what you taught in the course. Beautiful venue (great coffee and delicious food) and fun participants - what more could we ask for?

What a wonderful journey you took us on this week!

What a wonderful journey you took us on this week. The classes were conducted with efficiency and understanding and it was very clear you have a deep passion for the game. My learning was invaluable and I just wanted to say THANK YOU. Your website is amazing and you should be so pleased that you stepped outside the square and achieved it.I see lots of hours study for me and I know I will enjoy every minute of it. My next venture will be your Hunter Valley escape where Lisa and myself have arranged to meet again. Congratulations, again Joan. You are a true professional and I look forward to seeing you again.
