Leaving: Sarah Robinson
Just back in the office after attending a farewell dinner in honour of Sarah Robinson, who is moving on as principal of Darlington College.
My association with Darlington College goes back a long way. I did my journalism training there in 1980.
Sarah led the college into a new bright era by moving it from Cleveland Avenue to its new Haughton Road site.
It's a college the town can be proud of and Sarah takes a great deal of the credit.
I also met the new principal, Tim Grant, who is moving from a deputy principal's post in Nottinghamshire.
He has a tough act to follow but I wish him well.
