Registration for the adult education night courses at Douglas Community School and Ashton School is now open.

A wide variety of classes, from arts and crafts to yoga, golf for beginners, to language classes, African drumming and dressmaking, is on offer at Douglas Community School.

The school runs two types of general courses – multi-term and single term courses. Single term courses normally run for 10 weeks and are self-contained.

They are repeated in the following term, but do not progress to higher levels.

The multi-term courses generally continue for three terms to give participants an opportunity to develop their talents.

These courses progress to a higher standard as the year goes on. Participants can join a class for all or one of the terms.

All courses commence during the week commencing on Monday, September 28, unless otherwise stated.

The school also offers reduced fees for OAPs on application during enrolment and it also keeps a number of places on courses for long-term unemployed, which are free of charge.

These are available by calling to the office. Confidentiality is assured.

Some of the classes on offer in Ashton include: Bridge, computers, dressmaking, Spanish for beginners, yoga for beginners and improvers, DIY for women, French for beginners, first aid, and pilates.

There are also classes on Wednesday afternoons, including brain health for the future, yoga for the older adult, bridge, singing for wellness, and French conversation.

Classes at Ashton School are due to start on Monday, September 21.
