Firstly, as many of you will know, from 25 May data protection laws are changing. Part of that change is a requirement to ‘opt in’ to email updates like Adult Learning’s ‘in the loop’.

Next week we are having a Christmas Celebration at Stoke Lodge. Our Christmas Celebration takes place on Tuesday 12th December between 3.15pm to 5pm.

We have been working really hard over the summer making sure Stoke Lodge is looking its best for the new term. A couple of rooms have had a lick of paint and we have replaced some of the classroom chairs but the most dramatic change is really the wooden floors downstairs. 

Hello everyone and welcome to a refreshed ‘In The Loop’ for those who received this via email.

I hope you are coping with and enjoying the (slightly cooler today) heatwave weather this week.

Some of you may know that this week is Healthy City Week and it seemed a great time to share a little about the second phase of our Learning for Wellbeing research project.

It’s starting to get back to normal here at Stoke Lodge with classes starting back this week and next. It’s so nice to have people back in the building buzzing with enthusiasm and getting to grips with loads of new skills and ideas.

Thought I’d drop you a quick update before the bank holiday hits us. Work continues at Stoke Lodge with some of the rooms upstairs getting a generous lick of paint to freshen them up ready for the autumn term. 

You will be pleased to know that our 2016/17 courses are now available to book.
