The Bronze Expedition section is led by Mrs Haden (ESH) who is supported by Mrs Stock (CB). The Bronze team consists of approximately 25 experienced and well qualified supervisors who take responsibility for supporting groups of students during the Tuesday and Thursday lunchtime training and route planning sessions, and during the expeditions themselves.
The Bronze team is supported by Mr Dixon (Director of DofE), Mrs Kershaw and Mrs Hession (DofE Administrators).
