Adult Education Programme

This is
the cover of an 18-page Program of
Edinburgh Council's Adult Education classes. The Council offers
a wide range of courses throughout the year.
Further details can be found on the
Edinburgh Council
web site.
For
2013, I chose one of the 5-week courses of walks around Edinburgh, the course titled: "Walks: Aspects of Edinburgh",
led by Graeme Cruickshank. Graeme has personally researched the
areas covered by his walks so has been able to provide some
interesting background information about the places visited.
Here
are three photos taken in the Royal Mile, the destination of the first
of the five walks:

Experience Seminars
for
Canon Digital EOS Cameras
©
Experience Seminars offer training for users of Canon Digital EOS
cameras. Most of the training is provided at the
company's Training Centre near Huntingdon, north of London, but the company
is also visiting Edinburgh to provide training in April and November
2013. Training DVDs are also sold.
Seminar details can
be found on the
Experience-Seminars web site.
Having recently acquired a Canon EOS D6 camera, I was pleased to be
able to attend two days of training in Edinburgh last weekend.
I found the event to be very worthwhile. with a lot of practical
advice being offered on the use of the EOS cameras.
Here are are two photos that I took during the event. Please
click on them to enlarge them.
- a photo of the instructor, Ian McNeil, as he stood in front
of the projector with images projected onto his top.
- a photo of some of the 15 participants on the course, armed
with their Canon EOS cameras and cups of Costa coffee.
