Update on Learning with Norwich WEA
As we - fingers crossed! - move towards our usual face-to-face programme in the Autumn of 2021, we'd like to thank all our students who have
The Spring programme for 2022 is now under way and it is great to see old friends and new students in a face to face class again.
Your safety at the King’s Centre:
All classes will be in the large Conference Room 2, well ventilated and with a social distance of 1 metre and the wearing of masks will be encouraged . One of the Norwich Branch committee will be there to take a NHS ‘Test and Trace’ log of all those attending. Of course requirements at the Kings are provisional and there may be fewer restrictions or, worst case, a reinstatement of stricter restrictions. We will keep all enrolled students up to date with requirements.
Spring Programme 2022
Most of the spring programme is now confirmed and bookings are still open;. Details can be found under 'Courses' which will be updated as necessary - unfortunately we have had to cancel two Zoom courses as there were insufficient numbers signed up; perhaps wer are all zoomed-out after 18 months of Covid restrictions! Just a reminder, though, that we need interested students to sign up early as courses are cancelled about a week before the first of the sessions if numbers are low (necessary to be fair to tutors who put a lot of effort into preparing courses for us). You can also find courses for all of the region - as well as nationally - by going to the WEA enrolment site. I
