Hi guys, just want to encorage any of you thinking of attending a beginners workshop to take the plunge. I attended the one in Manchester run by Andrew & Mert and cannot thank them enough. It was clear on arrival that everyone was feeling quite anxious (unsurprisingly!) but it didn’t take long for everybodys nerves to be calmed as we realised everyone there was completely normal (what a relief!) and we were never going to feel we had to do anything we didn’t want to. I made great progress and am actually looking forward to putting into practise what I’ve learnt. On the last day of the course I managed to use urinals in two different public toilettes & on the journey home I visited 4 motorway service stations and used urinals 3 times! What an improvement! By the end of the course despite feeling tired it almost felt like I’d been on a short holliday and made some great new friends. If you’re thinking you could benefit from a weekend workshop but can’t quite drum up the nerve to go I would urge you to just take the plunge & book it, you won’t regret it. With deepest thanks to Andrew, his wife Jan & Mert for their commitment to helping so many people.
