Daniel makes Catherine (on right) and Mandy’s day
Starstruck in Norwich Catherine and Mandy had a day to remember when they had a surprise visitor. Catherine tells us what happened: “I had written to Daniel O’Donnell a while ago about stuff happening at John Grooms Court. Mandy and I were going to see Daniel in concert on the Saturday. But on Friday, we had a massive surprise. Daniel popped in to see us! We were both absolutely amazed. “I showed him around my flat and had a nice catch-up with him. It was my dream come true – I never imagined he would visit me at home! We went to see him perform the next night. The show was brilliant and I’d written to ask if Daniel would mention Mandy and Stephanie on the night. He did – and we got to meet him after the show as well!” Thanks to Catherine for sending in her story – we’d love to hear your story too (see right).
When school inspectors called on a surprise visit, Victoria Education Centre (VEC) was delighted to get an “outstanding” rating. Congratulations to everyone at VEC! Look out for more VEC news next time, when students get involved in two exciting music and theatre projects... Send me a story!
