It’s been a rough month weather-wise it feels like it
has been raining the whole month. That storm cer-
tainly gave us all a wake up call. How many of us
were prepared for the loss of power and the phone, I
know I certainly wasn’t. According to the weather
men the bad weather is not over, with still more rain
to come. Wrap up keep warm and if possible stay
indoors
ROAD SAFETY

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people
who helped with the shift
and the setting up of the new premises. It was a huge job but we
managed to get it
done with the help of everyone. We managed to keep all classes
going with very little
disruption, thanks to our learners. We are now located at 65
Dudley Street ( Ground
floor ) in the ACTS Building. For those of you who do not know
where Dudley Street
is, it is the street behind High Street , if you go down the
alley where No 1 Shoes
were, you will see the building.
This term is nearly over and Elaine is in the process of
preparing our timetable for
next term. The same programmes will be offered again and there
may even be one or
two surprises in the next term, so look out for that. The new
term will start 29 July to
27 September.
