Three and a half years of intense editorial effort came to an end over the last 3 days when the Your Turn team met for the last time as a team. The work of making 'Your Turn' (a secondary course) into the special material it has become has involved everyone on the team - Austrians, Germans, British and Mexicans - in an fascinating journey of co-operation, excitement, and genuine (I believe) creativity.

The work isn't over, of course. Nor the future success. There is still a lot of production to be completed, and many many presentations to be given all over Austria to show teachers how good we think the material is. But for the moment, the team that has guided the writing of Students' Books, workbooks and teachers's books has met formally for the last time. Along the way, great friendships have been made, and wonderful ideas generated. One of  the most rewarding experiences possible.

Now we have four levels of the course nearly completed. I think we should be allowed to enjoy ourselves a little bit.

And we did!
