All in the best possible Taste

Twenty college delegates from across middle-England (East to West: Worcester up to Stockport) joined us in Leicester College's hospitality suite (part of the Taste restaurant - "Leicester's best kept secret") for the latest Experiential Learning Day with Dr Colin Beard.
As an aperitif , I introduced myself & stated that there were no planned fire drills (although we had 4, apparently due to incompetent builders), and who Colin was (is?), followed by a main course of teaching techniques that can readily adapted to individual subject areas.
Dessert was me swapping strips of raffle tickets for completed feedback sheets (20:20 happiness) & a prize draw for some copies of Colin's book which were left over from last year's Playing with Learning Conference. As I've been to more than a dozen of these so far, the highlight for me was finally (after 4 failed attempts) getting to experience (geddit?) Taste resaurant's food part-way through the day.
Everything I'd been led to believe it was. And more. Absolutely delicious....
