Hi John
I’ll doing my best to keep up with everything that is going on - I’m limited to working from an Internet cafe at the moment, so haven’t been that active. We’ve just had a great EFL Bridges World Conversation Club, though, with people from all four corners of the globe, and they were all encouraged to join in with Global Learn Day, so hopefully there’ll be some more people coming your way.
Well done for organising such a great event!
