Hello, sorry I haven't been in touch, but you can understand just how frantic things have been - the storms down South really threw a spanner in the works but fortunately we didn't have to cancel many events.
Tony Parsons was a real trooper and, when his early morning flight was cancelled because of bad weather at Heathrow, he got into his car and drove all the way up - arriving just a few minutes late and running on stage still with his coat on! Another star that evening was Andy Woolley, a colleague from Scottish Enterprise Glasgow, who stepped in with 5 minutes to go to take on the role of chair and did a wonderful job of interviewing Tony until the original chair turned up 25 minutes late.
However the real star of Monday night was Miss Kathleen Turner, star of stage and screen who completely wowed a packed theatre and had us all completely entranced. We laughed with her as she told irreverent stories of filmmaking and cried with her as she described her battle with RA and alcohol. She totally lit up the stage when she smiled and we all left with a warm glow that we had been in the presence of a real old-fashioned Hollywood icon - what a voice and what a woman!
