Groups and Courses

TERM DATES
11 January - 19 March 2021, 26 April - 2 July 2021, 4 October - 10 December 2021

Due to the restrictions imposed by the Corona virus outbreak, many of our activities have been cancelled or delayed. However, tutors and convenors are finding new ways to continue to run things but in a way that does not involved physical meetings. We are using Zoom, a video conferencing system, to great effect.

There are always more people wanting to join a course than leave one. If you have a hobby, a skill or work based knowledge you wish to share with a group of interested people please contact Course Provision Coordinator who will be pleased to hear from you. More information about running new courses may be found on the About us Page. We can provide you with all the help you require to start a group and ccurrently can provide you with the use of a Zoom license. We are particularly looking for new courses for the Summer 2021.

Our groups and activities are available to members. If you are not a member click on the Join tab to find out more.

This may be accessed at Conveners Handbook. If required, further guidance on new courses can be obtained from the Course Provision Coordinator, on existing courses from the Groups Coordinator and on video conferencing from the Video Conferencing Coordinator.
