I love the Teaching Breakfast. I hope we can grow it. Lets move it to Fitzelle, perhaps in the lounge, to give some privacy.
And who do I ask to get coffee back? We have always had that as a little incentive- I think it will help us to rope in some people.
Coffiee is a part of the culture of our Teaching Breakfast....

Thanks,
Zanna
