Our Course Leaders are all published authors,
experienced teachers and qualified guides. They either live in the area or fly out from the UK to lead a specific course.
They run courses in the UK during the year, broadcast on
TV and Radio, organise courses on cruises and write for specialist magazines. On occasions, due to unforeseen circumstances, such as illness or bereavement, we have to replace
the Tutor at short notice, but we guarantee to maintain the high standards of the course. The workshops are programmed to helping you with your writing, painting and photography.
The Walking Guides live locally and know the area well and you walk everyday. I am grateful for the support shown by the Course Leaders
in running the courses. They are not only excellent in encouraging new writers, but give of themselves in making the
courses a success.
