EVENING CLASSES

A programme of classes are arranged each year by the staff of the Community Centre. Every effort is made to provide a range of courses to meet the needs and interests of members of the community and the organisers are always pleased to receive suggestions for new courses.

During recent years courses have been offered in Yoga, Aerobics, Keep Fit, Art and Computing. Recently new courses have been introduced which have been very successful including courses for young people (Keyboard Lessons, Short Tennis Coaching and Drama classes). Courses are also organised in Burton-on-the-Wolds as part of our programme.

The course programme is published during August of each year with enrolment normally the first week in September. Courses usually commence mid-September. Fees vary according to the duration of the courses which usually vary from 8 Á 12 weeks (hours vary from 1 Á 2 hour sessions).

Leicestershire County Council offer fee remission to those in receipt of certain benefits and the Community Association offers fee remission to Senior Citizens and young people under the age of 16 years of age. It is a policy that fees are kept as low as possible. One Day Courses arranged periodically, normally on Saturdays. These are advertised at appropriate times in the local press, library and through feeder schools. For further details contact the school office.

WORKERÃS EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION

The WEA is a national voluntary organisation made up largely of its students. Its aim is to organise general interest and educational classes suitable to both men and women. Typical class subjects include literature, music, theatre, alternative medicine, reading for pleasure, local history and economics as well as environmental subjects such as canals, natural history and conservation, transport and archaeology.

The tuition and class content is generally worked out in partnership between the students and the tutor Á there are no entrance requirements and no examinations. More then 130,000 students enrol each year Á why not join them? For further information and dates and times of available classes, contact the secretary, chairman or other contact person.

The local branch has been in existence since 1974. It always welcomes new members to its courses. Enrolment is normally by post to the secretary or enrol on the first night of each new class.

If you would like to be placed on our mailing list for class information, get in touch with any of the Œcontactsà shown below. You could soon be meeting new friends with similar interests and joining in with possible outings arranged during the normal class-time or at weekends.
