Puzzle time
As we don't have a member to profile this month I've devised a set of teasers instead!

Do please get in touch though if you'd like us to feature your profile on this page. We love to hear from you all.

Mrs Niggle's tea strop
Mrs Niggle went for afternoon cream tea in the Tasty Tearooms. Noticing a spider floating in the hot liquid, just in time as she was about to take a sip, she sent it back to the kitchen to be replaced.

When the fresh cup arrived she tasted it and immediately sent it back again saying "this is exactly the same cup as I had before! You've simply removed the spider" and demanded a fresh cup.

The kitchen staff were amazed that she'd rumbled them - but she was correct, it was indeed the same cup.

How did she know?

A sign in the bush

Glasstap girls race for life
They did it again!
On May 18th Claire, Kay, Louise and Zoe all joined thousands of women in Gatehead's Saltwell Park to help raise money for Cancer Research again.

Not only did they give up their Sunday, leaving very early in the morning to attend the event, but Claire and Zoe joined the front runners and managed to beat their previous year's time.

Very well done to them. If you'd like to take part in a Race for Life near you then please do have a look on the website:

Welsh Holiday
Review Reward
As the weather's been so spectacular recently, this months special reward goes to the first person to review Welsh Holiday.

It's a great exercise in which participants are split into small teams and each team has to work with one other team, located elsewhere, to solve a shared problem. Communication between teams is by telephone (or Walkie Talkie). The exercise is brilliant for demonstrating the importance of clear communication where there is no face to face contact and can be used to illustrate the importance of summary and clarification, good open questions and active listening, as well as more specific problem solving and team skills.

And don't forget we'd still love to receive reviews for Trainers' Market products too.
