The last Southernhay Breakfast Club enjoyed a talk by the charismatic Joe McNulty and co. from "Theatre Learning". Joe runs a business where actors and theatre are used to get training messages across to groups.

Trainers Andy and Elaine might have been 'hamming it up' a little, but they definitely held the audience's attention!

Last Friday, guests enjoyed a great event hosted by Kirk Hills, at the 11th Exeter Food Festival – and even the sun made an appearance!
The highlight of the event involved an omelette challenge, similar to that on BBC’s Saturday Kitchen.
