As always it was great to work with you and Jailin again and the students really benefit immensely from your guidance and input. We also really value your time and effort given to the college, and if there is anything that we can do to help you in the future then please do not hesitate to contact myself or JJ.
With kind regards, Gary Hunter Head of Culinary Arts, Westminster Kingsway College

Visit to St Anne’s Catholic Girls School
Dear Roger and John,
Thank you so much for all you did for us on Tuesday. The girls who took your classes were rushing up to us all yesterday saying how much they enjoyed it and learnt. The sixth form, who did lots of tasting, have raved about your food to all the staff and I have had to field lots of questions about you and the Harrow!
As before, we are extremely grateful. The kind of experience you have given our girls is impossible for us to reproduce and so is invaluable, but we are aware of the sacrifice you have made and cost, including that of your very valuable time.
We are really looking forward to visiting, which the Head has agreed in principle. I am checking on dates (sooner rather than later), but please can you remind me which day/days suit you better?
Thank you again, Gina Longman, Co-Ordinator Design and Technology, St. Anne's Catholic School and College

Master Chefs of Great Britain Charity Dinner at Westminster College
Thank you for providing such a wonderful meal and wines I think we probably raised around £5000 in all .... thank you once again to both Sue and yourself for all your hard work. Kind regards Susan McGeever Secretary for The Master Chefs of Great Britain
Only eight places left for this excellent dinner hosted by Purple pager Roger Jones (pictured) in aid of the Master Chefs of Great Britain, a charity with raises money to train and educate young people in the catering trade. Great food, fine wines and all for a bargain price of £60.
Michelin-starred chef Roger says: 'We have managed to secure some pretty fantastic wines to go with a 7 course dinner that I (together with students from Westminster) will be cooking for 150 guests.' See below for the menu and accompanying wines.
Training young people is close to Roger's heart and something he and Sue of the Harrow in Little Bedwyn are are clearly very good at - see A rising star at 16 for the recent success of their protégées ‘ Jancis Robinson MW
