Thanks etc and bye...

Hello Class,

It was wonderful to see you all again on Monday, thanks to everyone who came and for making the class enjoyable. And as before special thanks to Sharon, Ricky, Jimmel and Gizelle for the transport to and from. :)

I am now back in Barbados, and hope the rest of the term goes well for you all. I'm looking forward to hearing how your projects evolve, through the blog. So, please write regularly if only to update me.

I have sent the Capstone package of production documents to Nareeba by mail, and asked her to photocopy for everyone in the class. Basically it contains examples of all different types of paperwork necessary.
