Dear Paul,
This is, indeed, very happy news so thank you very much to everyone
involved. I look forward to seeing the training materials when they appear.
We have very much appreciated the efforts of all the task groups during our
preparations for training and implementation here at Cambridge University
so thank you to all those who have contributed to this mammoth undertaking.
Thanks again,
Celine
