The Feedback Sandwich
In teaching you are always encouraged to use five positives to every negative when giving feedback! I think it's a very generous feedback sandwich! I preferred to make them with doorsteps of plain white warburtons no fancy seeded organic malted nonsense!

That my feedback sandwich and thanks to Steve Welsh for introducing us all to the feedback sandwich!

Paul Holland did really well by "answering" many of the questions before they were asked despite declining any prior knowledge of what would be asked. I don't think the forum could have gone any better from the Club's point of view.
