[email protected]) We had a very successful and enjoyable weekend last May on two Jane Austen novels, led by our tutors, Dr Ken Ireland and Ulrike Horstmann-Guthrie. Next May Ken and Ulrike will be discussing two Hardy novels and their adaptations. Ulrike will give an introduction on Thomas Hardy, followed by sessions on the novels; Ken will lead sessions on the films; and there’ll be a final joint session on surveys and conclusions. We hope that, whether you know these two Classics well already or you’ve always meant to read them, you will find this course interesting and new. Saturday afternoon will be free till tea-time. If the weather’s fine there’ll be an optional forest walk; if not, we’ll show an optional DVD. Debden House Adult Education Centre is part of the Borough of Newham's Adult Learning Service. Course fees include rooms, tutor, meals & refreshments (wine available to buy). Enjoy the centre’s quiet location which is set within beautiful ornamental gardens and situated on the edge of Epping Forest and is an enjoyable alternative to hotel accommodation (at competitive rates). Refurbished bedroom accommodation - private rooms with television and tea & coffee making. Debden Centre is easily accessible from the M25 or the M11 and just 40 minutes away from central London by Central Line. I am happy to arrange lifts from/to Theydon Bois Underground station. Please send me a completed booking form (overleaf) and deposit. I will confirm your booking. The balance is payable at least three weeks before the weekend. I can arrange a second-hand copy of the books for you (around £3 each) - just let me know. If you know of anyone else who might be interested, please ask them! DEBDEN HOUSE WEEKEND MAY 2017
