Those are very reasonable points, Di.
I recall, and can quote, a posting by the complainant in which he
advertises a set, partly of his own making, on this list. It doesn’t
state that the sale is on behalf of anyone else so presumably he
intended to keep the money.
Nothing wrong with that, and in fact the item would have been of
genuine interest at the time.
Surely the same applies to Susan Craven’s posting. I have no idea
whether Susan received any substantial remuneration for her generous
efforts. I doubt it but in fact, thats's none of my business. Or
anyone else's. What I do know however, is that the course attracted
participants from several countries, was hugely enjoyable and was
spoken of afterwards with great appreciation.
I have no connection with the event this year, but would encourage any
potential participant to sign up for this excellently organised
course. A good learning opportunity and wonderfully friendly.

I wonder if this advert for a privately run course is allowed on this
list. This is a course that is not run by the NPS but for the benefit
of the person who is running it who although taking the risk and time
to organise it is also taking any profit that may arise.
