AMBIANCE Breaking News: Active Citizen on early retirement!


AMBIANCE Active Citizen of Europe John Cockburn said to our blog:
''I hope you are all well and enjoying the summer break.
I am taking early retirement from my job at Northumberland College - which means I will no longer be UK co-ordinator for the AMBIANCE project. I am pleased to be taking early retirement however it is sad not to be able to see the completion of this splendid project. So I wish you good luck in the future and look forward to playing the completed board game in my retirement - along with running and cycling etc!
If any of you are visiting the North East of England in the future email me on john.coburn@virgin.net and I will give you a guided tour of beautiful Berwick upon Tweed!''

AMBIANCE partners wish John all the best and enjoy Actively his retirement!
