Storm Amy kept me awake for most of the night and I am reluctantly looking outside to see if there is any damage.

My next training session will be considering the changing relationship with the media. How people access news, who defines news and being ready for local, national and international media interest.
There are a couple of spaces left for the 16 October. DM for more information.
