Over 50 Group
I have just returned from the over 50 programme . The accommodation was very student residence level, well worn and poorly appointed. The kitchen was not fully equipped and I had to stand on a chair to use the microwave. It was a good 35 walk from the school .There was a bus in the mornings only . We were given a sub standard breakfast and had to bring our own towels . So with students , from as far as USA. Brazil and Korea lugging towels ! Have to say my French classes were good but other classes had teachers who just handed out exercises and gave them loads of homework to do . Activities ( mainly site seeing but they change every week) were mixed and some quite physically demanding . The Food & Wine activities for that group were poor and not well organised. The consensus of opinion was that we would have paid a bit more for better facilities. Also , the Welcome meeting and area Information was sadly lacking. We were handed a map and the local Spar shop was pointed out . Not even as much as a bottle of water in room and people were arriving late on the Sunday from all areas . For me the people made it - great bunch of people .We also had a great young man looking after us!
