Evening college course suggestions

[Blue Hills]

I seem to remember that in times of old bicycle maintenance was a regular course, but then I think progressively dropped as it was seen as a bit sad/passe. How times change
I think your idea is good accy but think you should contribute a bit more to the thread with some info on your interests.
Let us know how you get on.

Does that include a free dog? 🤔 🐶

No, but you do (*gasp*) get a "FREE Kanpeki 3 x pack of scissors (T & C’s apply)"!

I have seriously thought about Arabic for beginners🤔 https://www.blackburn.ac.uk/course-details/SC028/arabic-for-beginners-entry-level
. Accy/Arabic could become a new language.

Edit...Just seen,it's 245 quid!!

I tried Arabic once when I spent quite a bit of Egypt , before the revolution. Bloody hard and everyone wanted to speak english anyway

If you fail to find a suitable course during the evenings, maybe consider finding weekend workshops, offering anything from art to photography, learning a musical instrument, yoga, meditation, cooking classes, interior design, dance, trampolining, beekeeping, having an allotment, creative writing courses etc. etc.

WEA are pretty good providers. Most everything will be being delivered by Zoom or online conference atm

If you want to do a course, but have no particular long term goal or reason for taking it, what about a first aid course? It gives you some useful life skills......

Art, you might get to draw some naked ladies.

I did pottery a few years ... what's not to like?

Your pots getting stuck to the kiln shelf- again.

Cycle mechanics course?

 

[Notafettler]

more something practical

and definitely not more males than females in the class.

An oxymoron if ever I have heard one.
Shouldn't it read more females than males?
You bad bad boy

I live in a rented flat,so no need for D.I.Y and besides,i hate D.I.Y. Sign language is a thought though.

I did sign language once but I just made it up to bluff my way around Arndale centre in Bury, they only allowed dogs in handbags in. As you can guess someone turned up who could sign and worse still new what I was signing.
