Annual General Meeting & INSET on current developments in MFL

November 20th 2004

These photos give a 'flavour' of our action-packed Saturday morning Annual General Meeting which offered training of the highest quality thanks to our presenters: Kathy Wicksteed (Specialist Schools' Trust), Karl Pfeiffer (Goethe Institute) and Jeff Lee (Barking & Dagenham LEA), followed by a useful Annual General Meeting, very well run by our dynamic Chairperson and Secretary (....despite hunger pangs!!).
