Are any of you chaps or ladies involved with Northamptonshire Adult Learning? I just spotted this course on their website Britain And The Fall Of France 1940 Northamptonshire County Council | Adult Education Courses | Course Details | Britain And The Fall Of France 1940 Unfortunately the venue is a good hour and a half from my home and two hours from work so I cannot make it. If anyone does go, or knows of a similar course in the Oxfordshire area I would be very interested to hear about it
That looks and interesting course - there don't appear to be many decent courses at all around my part of Essex. Those that do look good tend to be during the day so only available to those that are retired or on benefits. Jim
Sounds interesting indeed. One impact of the recession has been a cut in the number of so-called 'leisure and pleasure' courses in local colleges, like basket weaving or playing flamenco guitar. But something like this seems pretty useful, especially for someone who has an interest in history but has never been able to follow it up. I've never fancied teaching but I reckon teaching adult ed would be rewarding, I guess because you know your class are there because they want to be rather than because they have to be.
