Simon and Mark picked me up at 10.00 am on a beautiful sunny day and we drove at top speed in the direction of Canterbury with just enough time to stop off at FAB’s Diner on the A20.

 

We arrived at the University at 12.30 where we met Kate, who helped us set up.

 

We relaxed for a while until the audience arrived at 2 pm. I started by introducing myself, explaining the work I do as Mrs Sparkle, and then showing them my film, “Sparkle”.  There was then a question and answer session.

 

I made a power point presentation about the work of Oska Bright and showed some Oska Bright films. The audience were very interested in Oska Bright and asked lots of questions.

 

After the presentation we went into Canterbury to a great restaurant called “Boho” with Sarah, who chaired our workshop. Sarah treated me to a really great dinner. Here is a photo of me with the restaurant chandelier on my head!

 

Our day in Canterbury was very successful and we have high hopes that we will keep in touch with our new friends from the University.
