What a splendid weekend at Leamington Competitive Festival. My students won cups, but what to me was so important was the wonderful, fair and positive adjudication by Luise Horrocks. It takes a lovely knowledgeable and caring person to carry this with such untiring charm. Thank you Luise.

I wanted you to know how much we all enjoyed your adjudication on Musical Theatre day. I have had several parents and teachers tell me over this last week how much your positive and constructive comments were appreciated and, from a Festival point of view, it is a delight to work with someone who is relaxed but at the same time efficient.
