Inspiring tips from Sir Richard - I will be taking these to our next practice meeting. And excellent suggestion from Judy on pacing ourselves when trying to apply the tips! We are more likely to succeed if we approach the task in a thoughtful and considered manner rather than a mad rush. Thanks Judy!
