There was a great turn out this weekend when our Licensees gathered, at The Source Conference Centre in Sheffield, for the Midlands & The North Licensee Annual Meeting.

La Jolie Ronde's General Manager, Steve Baker, opened the meeting welcoming all existing and new Licensees. He gave a full company update before handing over to Paul Dix from Pivotal Education who delivered an invaluable session on Behaviour Management. La Jolie Ronde's Neil Collins gave a session on Social Media and how best to make it work for you.

There was also a special thank you to Licensee Anthea Collard who was presented with a bottle of champagne, from Steve and Colette, for all the hard work she has put in as the author of the revised Les Aventures/Las Aventuras Part 2 programme.

The afternoon saw time for Licensees to network with others. Finally Licensee Achievement Awards were presented as well as the very much sort after Licensee of the Year.

Licensee of the Year for The Midlands & The North went to Jacqueline Arkley.
