For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
A day at the races

Larkhill, near Amesbury, on the blowy last day of March - point to point racing with the Avon Vale hunt.


Place your bets, please

A fun and varied day. Point to Point racing takes place at Larkhill and at the Barbary Castle, both within about 30 miles of Melksham, and there are full race courses nearby at Salisbury and Bath.
