The Master led a wonderful holiday to Marrakesh where 30 Guild members stayed in a beautiful Riad in the heart of the Medina.  The weather was glorious - hot and dry- and perfect for our excursions to the Atlas Mountains and to the coast at Essaouria.  There were so many sights, sounds and colours to take in that we were in a whirl! The food was excellent; a mix of traditional Moroccan tagines and slightly more western dishes.

Many holidaymakers took the oportunity to stock up on spices...and carpets! The souk was an entertainment in itself!

Look out for the full report in the Freeman next year; in the meantime photos (courtesty of enthusiastic amateur David Tyrwhitt-Drake) can be found here
