Swanwick programme

 

Many people have asked me what exactly goes on at ‘Swanwick’ and whether it’s necessary to sign up in advance for the various courses. Well, the answer to that is a resounding NO. The only exceptions to that are the very popular 1:1 specialist sessions offered by some tutors and their lists fill up FAST. You can think of the week’s programme as a smorgasbord and then it’s down to the individual to decide how much to take from it.

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I whizzed round like a blue tailed fly the first time I attended and was almost completely burnt out by the halfway point.  Nowadays I pace myself, secure in the knowledge that anything I miss out on one year will almost certainly come round again. What greater incentive could there be to return?
