WEA meeting in the garden

I took a break from my computer and looked out of my study window. Helena had organised a meeting of the organisers of the local WEA which was being held on our patio. She is the local secretary and organises the classes, which I have attended on odd occasions. Alan P. is one of the lecturers and I really enjoyed his class on some of the French Impressionist painters. Now the classes are all held via Zoom, but I think they will go back to being held in Stonehouse Community Centre. The attendees regard it as an important social event with friends. It is a great organisation.

With the support of nearly 3,000 volunteers, 2,000 tutors and over 10,000 members, we deliver friendly, accessible and enjoyable courses for adults from all walks of life.
