Newquay, Cornwall, 2004

In March, 2004,  thirty two members travelled to Newquay, Cornwall, to savour the pleasures of the Esplanade Hotel and to visit local places of interest such as The Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan.  Members were joined for the weekend by Chevening Scholar guest, Kiel Loughman, and new ni-Vanuatu member Alivier Wartef.
