In the Loop – 1 Sep 2022

,

“White Rabbits” I’m not a particularly superstitious person but I do rather like the idea of keeping some superstitions and traditions alive.  All part of the rich tapestry of life! For those of you who are somewhat confused, saying “White Rabbits” usually aloud, on the first of the month is generally meant to bring good luck!More

Booking opens for 22/23 Adult Learning courses on Tuesday 19 July

, , ,

I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine and managing to remain comfortable in this particularly warm spell we are having.

We have been working extra hard the last few weeks putting together lots of exciting courses and workshops for the new academic year.  Including some brand new courses with some new tutors joining the team.

Enrolments for 2022/23 Academic year

I am delighted to tell you that booking for next year’s courses opens online, over the phone and in person at Stoke Lodge from 9.30am on Tuesday 19th July.  All our courses will be listed at www.bristolcourses.com

We do expect the first few days to be quite busy so please be patient with us if you have trouble getting through on the phone.

For phone enrolments, please note that the office is staffed every day from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Thursday, and 4pm on Friday.

If you have previously enrolled online, it might be helpful to check that you can log in to your account before the enrolment date.
If you have forgotten your password you can click on the ‘Forgot password?’ link on the sign in page, to be sent an email to reset your password.

If you book online, you should get two confirmation emails, one confirming your payment has been made and one confirming your place has been booked.  Please do check you get both and get in touch with us if you only receive one confirmation.   We sometimes have a few cases where a learner’s internet connection pauses, meaning the payment is taken but the place has not been booked – and we don’t want anyone to be disappointed!

We will have courses available for the Autumn, Spring and Summer terms but please do check the website again in year and keep an eye out for ‘in the loop’ emails as there will be further courses added in year.

Hello everyone

We are working on the final touches to our Summer term programme but there are still a few courses and workshops available before the Easter break…

Saturday courses…

#StandWithUkraine

I am sure you are all watching the news and feeling sad and horrified at the terrible situation for the people of Ukraine.  It is hard to comprehend what people there must be thinking and going through and our thoughts are with them and their families and friends across the world.

It is difficult to know what we can do to help and support but there are a number of charities currently raising funds for relief work and supplies including the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) you can find information on their appeal here  Appeals | Disasters Emergency Committee (dec.org.uk)  The UK Government will match public donations to DEC pound for pound up to £20 million.

If you choose to donate to other local charities who may be running appeals do ensure your donation is safe and goes to the right people by checking the charity’s name on the charity registration tool (which you can find on the .gov.uk website here Search the charity register – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) it is always sensible to make a few checks before parting with your money.
