The off season is a good time to reflect & see what you can improve on, or add to the arsenal, to give guests the best experience possible, & this year a game changer has been found, the Amazon Kindle ! No more heavy bags, or those books we have to leave at home, they now all come with us, thanks to a vast improvement from the Kindle store library. The ability to make notes on pages as we go across the ground so valuable and adds so much. We now have the off season to perfect it's use!
