Secretary writes:
This will be the last Update that a number of members will
receive as Jo Hook has now collated all the membership renewals and by next
week we will have deleted all those members that have not paid from the mailing
list. If you stop receiving the Update from next Friday it will be because our
records show that your annual membership is still outstanding and you therefore
will assumed to have left. If this happens and you believe that you have paid
or wish to pay now please let me know.

A note to all members about Future Learn
An Open University collaboration with other top universities
to offer free short on-line courses. They offer an incredible range of course
on almost every subject. Easy to sign up and choose courses. I have just
completed week 1 of a 3 week course on World War 1: Trauma and Memory. Mostly
brief articles and short (no more than 10 minutes) videos. Some useful
downloads as well.
Took me an hour or so to complete this weeks ‘course’. Lots
of information that I knew but some very useful stuff that I did not, so well
worth an hour of my time each week. Looks like I can do Week 2 and 3 already. I
am signed up for several courses that I hope are as useful as this one.
I recommend it to you all.
Best Regards
