I propose to run a trial course on Do it Yourself and Home Maintenance, and invite members to contact me by email if interested.
The content and style will be designed to suit members’ needs, and can cover any topic from shopping for tools and materials to carrying out home projects.
Nothing will be considered too small, trivial or irrelevant, and I hope to be able to instil confidence in your ability to deal with various tasks, even if they are a ‘closed book’ to you at present.

Table tennis will be played year round during four 10-
