Courses at Well House Manor

As from the start of this week, all of our public courses are running at Well House Manor.

Larger courses (that's up to a maximum of 7 on the public courses) run in "The Wilts" room giving all the delegates plenty of space. Smaller courses, private tuition, breakouts in "The Berks" for a more intimate course.

It's been a busy week - a VERY busy week - as you'll see from other diary entries. but the initial shakedown is impressive and it's very much a case of "one step better" here even on top of the excellent product that we've been providing at "404", just up the road, for the past six years.

A little more about this newsletter ...

At Well House Consultants, we run niche IT training courses ... and we run a hotel for delegates on those courses and other visitors to Melksham too. And we make a lot of friends - have a lot of ambassadors with whom we want to keep in touch. So every day Graham (that's me, writing this piece) puts together an article or two which might include the latest sample programs that I've written during the current course, new information about Well House Manor - our business hotel, tips on search engine optimisation, announcements of upcoming public courses, pictures of local places, and even (on occasions) rants and whimsical pieces to keep those friends up to date and in touch. The feeds are available directlt via the Blog - "The Horse's Mouth", they're on our Twitter Feed and you can find me at my LinkedIn profile. But most people just want to look us up occasionally - every month or two, and then to catch up on the latest news just for their particular subjects of interest ... and that's what this newsletter is about

You'll find above the titles of ALL the new articles written in the last two months, listed by major subject area, and showing as (new) with their date of publication. You'll find additional articles in each category too - topping each category up to a minimum of five articles. And you'll find a link at the end of each section which lets you expand that section to show the titles of every article that's been published in that section. After all, "the old ones are often the best ones", aren't they?
