AS enrolment time looms, Ribble Valley adults are once again faced with a plethora of evening classes in the area. Whether it be French for beginners, furniture restoration or hypnotherapy,
You’re spoilt for choice
without a doubt, there is something for everyone. Adult education enjoys a special status in the Ribble Valley, for it is keenly
supported by many of the area’s adults and is the envy of towns and cities
county wide. Gone is the “keep fit” night school image, although, if keeping fit is your thing,
it can definitely be arranged. In, instead, are an earnest creative quest and some pretty serious academic learning. Mr Pete Heyes, who is head of adult studies for the Ribble Valley and
Accrington division, said: “Adult education in the Ribble Valley is keenly supported, enjoying immense popularity among a wide section of the area’s
adults.” He continued: “This year, we have increased our range of classes yet again,
giving Ribble Valley adults even more subjects from which to choose.” This year’s prospectus reveals everything from painting for pleasure and
antiques to Spanish and T ’ai Chi, from wood carving and juggling to ear maintenance and chess. Also, this year, for the first time, Whalley Adult Centre is offering personal safety for women — known as “bash and dash” in London.
. Rather than instructing in self-defence, personal safety for women teaches you what to do in order to be able to run away — a far more sensible way in which to deal with would-be assailants, many believe!
