Its that time of year again when we need to start telling 'the powers that be' what courses and activities you'd like to have here at the trust.

If there there is anything you've ever wanted to learn how to do, or know....whatever, make sure you click on the comments link with this post and tell us what you'd like.

If you don't ask, you don't get

So please, it need only take a minute of your time. Click on 'comments' and just write what courses or activities you'd like. long course or short course? daytime or evening? Its entirely up to you.....
