We opened the new centre on 1st October and our first group from Lanna International School (Chiang Mai) arrived that day for a few days of geography. This was rapidly followed by French International School from Hong Kong and Chinese International also from Hong Kong. Both of these schools have been coming since we opened on the old site.  Said a sad farewell to Veronica Drake who brought her 8th group this year, but retirement beckons and this time next year she will be sipping cocktails in Spain.
