How to choose a course

Our Main Programme of Courses and Activities 2026/27, which includes the details of all courses starting between September and the following Easter, will be published on this website and a PDF version of the programme emailed to members in June this year. The programme includes information about how to pay course fees, as well as how to book your chosen courses. Members are kept fully informed of any changes to the programme throughout the year.
