Training day ......

Started the morning at a training session - Managing Effective Appraisals. The trainer is brilliant, she is so positive and passionate about her subject that it has the effect of rubbing off on you. The location if the training was at Easthampstead Park Conference Centre - hence the blip.

The history of the building is:
Easthampstead Park is a Victorian mansion on the edge of Wokingham and Bracknell in the English county of Berkshire. The house is a Grade II listed building “of historic and architectural interest, in Jacobean style with curved gables, pierced stone parapet and stone frontispiece of naive classicism”.*
The estate originally extended to 5,000 acres (20km2) and has been used for many purposes over the centuries, including a park reserved for royal hunting, part of a large private estate, a refuge during the war, a teacher training college, a nuclear bunker and a comprehensive school!
Easthampstead Park is now primarily used as a conference centre, hosting various meetings, events and team-building, as well as wedding receptions and civil marriage ceremonies.

What a lovely start to my day :)
