The program for Beginners is more structured as we build the foundations.
However, the Improvers have more control over the topics explored. We usually start with a couple of recent hands to see what issues of interest emerge. Here are some of topics we looked at last year, though we always prioritise your questions/requests/suggestions. So, if there's anything you want to flag up just let Dom know (a bit of notice will help me to prepare).
