In The Loop – 4 Apr 2014
Adult and Community Learning ‘in the loop’
Issue 4 April 2014
Hello everyone and welcome to ‘in the loop’
Making sure that adult learning in Bristol continues to improve and grow.
You may have noticed we have started to make a few changes to the foyer at Stoke Lodge.
You told us you would like chairs with arms that were not quite so low down.
The new (and very stylish) chairs have arrived following a ‘chair trial’, and I am delighted to say we have had some very positive feedback, so far you are all finding them rather comfy!
We haven’t quite finished we are also planning to give the foyer a lick of paint to brighten it up.
Programme planning continues for the 2014/15 year and we are busy booking tutors, checking timetables and writing up course details ready for the course guide.
Of course we are still in ‘this year’ and we have lots of courses starting after Easter such as . . .
