A new year begins

Happy New Year to you all.
Well 2008 is here and its been a busy time so far and we are only into the first week. I have been busy with the team finalising things for Lottery bid to continue our digital community network projet and secure the 4 existing job... so we hope to send this application off next week.
I have had a meeting with Open College Network as the ARC is to become a registered centre and the staff, once trained, will be delivering OCN courses at a variety of levels in a variety of subjects to attract more new learners. So watch this space!!
The courses in IT are continuing with a range of subjects on offer at the moment, such as Word and File Management, Internet and Email, Digital Camera, Back up and Burn plus more, and we also have our usual English and Maths class, English for Speakers of other languages (ESOL) and a new business studies module commencing tomorrow (Friday 11 Jan) in personnel. Anyone interested come along and join this 7 week class.
At the Drop in centre i have organised a sustainability workshop, which will look at making your centre greener and you will learn about energy efficiency, carbon footpints, recycling and reusing and it is going to be good fun, with a visit thrown in if your good!!
Credit Union is still running every Thursday morning, with my mate Sue as the new volunteer who is loving her voluntary work in their main office in town too. So if you wish to start saving for a rainy day, call in and find out more.
