Today was the official opening of Catmose Campus, marking the achievement and success of one of Rutland's biggest projects to date.
I felt a little bit like a gatecrasher as the Town Council had not contributed in anyway to this project.
The hospitality from the college was superb, plenty to drink soft or bubbly. The nibbles from Waitrose...
We were are shuffled into the theatre, via the art gallery currently showing student works.
Once in the theatre the Principle spoke and thanked all involved and then it was the turn of two head students who spoke about the benefits of the new campus.
Then Dr Laurence spoke and cut a ribbon in front of the stage and the curtain opened and we were treated to highlights from the student production of Hair Spray, Very talented students, it would have been good to see the whole show. I don't think my school ever put on performances like this one.

Then Helen Briggs spoke
After this we all took a look around the Campus, I was very impressed by Anna who offered a tour of the Campus. She was very informative and explained many features in great detail. I asked questions and received good answers.
Mr Stuart is rightly very proud of his students and staff and the new campus. Even if the students call his new restaurant a canteen... They also appear to be enjoying their new Campus.
I departed feeling very cheerful and then it was of to Oakham Town Council that was a long night................
