| August 2007 - WEA Wivenhoe Branch
Are you interested in Adult Education? Well, now there’s an opportunity to get really involved with the WEA, which has a long and proud history in Wivenhoe. From the 13th August, a number of key positions in this organisation are coming
vacant and volunteers are needed to continue organising the fascinating
lecture series which has been an important part of its
history. Over the years there has been a wide range of courses, including the History of Wivenhoe, Thames Barges, Geology, Weather and the latest being the History of Colchester. "Our branch is long-established in Essex and has an excellent reputation. The range of courses have given many people in Wivenhoe a chance to learn about subjects in a friendly environment and it would be a shame if this couldn’t continue," said Dave Purdey, current Secretary of the Wivenhoe branch of the WEA. "We are, however, looking for new officers as Enid Heslop, our Treasurer and Len Horner, our Chairman are standing down, and these positions have to be filled if the WEA in Wivenhoe is to continue". The next course, which starts on the 24th September is on the history of gold and its impact on the world. The course of ten lectures costs £40 and is held in the Methodist Hall in Wivenhoe. If anyone is interested in getting involved with the WEA, you can contact the Secretary, David Purdey on 827112 or e-mail:
