We are very lucky here at OTM to have wonderful grounds with opens spaces and lots of lovely trees.
This tree was planted in memory of Willie Holdaway one of our former cherished staff members.
Purple was her favourite colour and for those who knew her seeing it in flower is a great reminder of her.
Thanks for the memories.

This last week there has been some very variable weather.... but we were lucky to get an awesome day up at Porters on Tuesday.
All those that went enjoyed it and after hanging in during the lessons were rewarded with picking up new skills and mastering some turns. A couple enjoyed riding the lifts to the top of the field for some great views and a fun run down to base. Thanks to the BBQ cooks for the yummy lunch to refresh us for the afternoon runs.
