Warrington Centre, Lancashire.
This photo was taken as I was checking through student report forms during my lunch break.
At this Centre, as with many, there are often times when two adjudicators are required, due to the number of students entered. (The Victoria College of Music has 40 adjudicators throughout of UK). On this occasion I was adjudicating in conjunction with Mr John Chadwick, who, as well as being an adjudicator for the Victoria College of Music, is also a highly respected pianist.
His qualifications speak for themselves...John Chadwick: HonVCM, FVCM(Double Hons), FTCL, FLCM, LRAM, LRSM, LGSM (Triple), ARMCM, ARCM (Triple), LTSC.
It is with thanks to the work of the local Secretary, Mr Derek Broughton HonVCM FBIM FCV CT.VCM Hon ATO, (pictured centre) whose constant work for the College over many years, has resulted in a thriving network of centres throughout the North West area. Also pictured with Mr Broughton are his assistants, Claire and Sarah, whose constant attention, in combination with a watchful eye from Mr Broughton keeps us, the adjudicators, working steadily and also keeps us supplied with copious amounts of tea, coffee and refreshments throughout the day!
