This course has been updated for 2024: click here for details.

I’m really delighted to be able to introduce this new course that I have written. I will be running it as an evening class for a local college this summer but, in order for me to test my course materials, I have great pleasure in announcing a one-off course that I can offer to friends, clients and the local community, at a one-time only reduced rate.  Please read on for more details and drop me a line if you’re interesting in joining me.
