COMING SOON - ADULT EDUCATION CLASSES

We intend to run lots of interesting education courses when we get St John's Church re-opened.

In the meantime we have been offered the opportunity to make a start by ST THOMAS'S COMMUNITY NETWORK, who are willing to host Preservation Group courses.

The first two courses we are hoping to run are GUITAR FOR BEGINNERS and FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH. These will be short 6 week courses in the first instance.

They will be early evening courses, the cost will be £4 per session (£3 for senior citizens). We will be asking for an optional donation towards Preservation Group funds.

Please email to indicate your interest and come along to St Thomas's Network, Beechwood Road, Kates Hill on Wednesday 21st May between 12-4pm. On that day the Preservation Group have a table booked at the Network as part of Adult Learner Week.

We will also, in the New Year 2009, be running a course on Black Country Churches, and another on Dudley Local History.

Registrations of interest for these can also be made now.

We also hope to run a number of one off evening lectures which we hope will be of interest to our supporters.
