Do you fancy a second Bath for our VII Study trip to the British_Irish Isles????

Do you fancy a second Bath for our VII Study trip to the British-Irish Isles???? Sorry I was just trying to sound funny playing with words. We are thinking about organizing another study trip to the British-Irish Isles if there are enough people interested in participating.

Therefore, next Wednesday (16th March) during the break we are having a meeting to give you all the information. In this post you will be able to look through some of the things we did four years ago. And remember this is just a meeting to inform you. It doesn't compel you to do anything!!!!

Here are some of the posts in this blog related to the trip we did four years ago and which was our third experience:

• BATH 2014: III STUDY TRIP TO THE UK

• PHOTO CONTEST WINNER (IES MEDITERRANEO, SALOBREÑA)

• Ned Flanders in Bath
