Free Video Recording
in July or
August

This is an exclusive offer for newsletter readers ... 

Would making a video recording improve your event ?  

A video camera is a particularly useful tool when used with role plays and interviews, it's also great for recording presentations.... indeed any event. And you have the benefit of being able to review it individually or as a group for learning and development - either in real time or later, and of course any day thereafter.

Book one of our rooms during July and August and you can use the video equipment free of charge.  

All you pay for is the mini DVDs or USB sticks that you want to take away. 

Not used a camera before? Don't worry, we can show you how to operate, look at the video you've just shot, delete scenes and replay your materpiece to the whole group. If you have any questions during the day we'll be on-hand to help.

So get in touch as soon as possible to include free use of our video equipment in one of your July or August bookings.
Offer Expires: 31st August ... so hurry up and get it organised!
