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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
New guest ... becoming returning guest

"I'll be back in about a month - see you then" - and a cheerful wave from a departing guest. That's lovely - customers voting for us with their feet, and not unusual.

Mr "X", shall we call him, had booked late yesterday - so late, in fact, that his booking was long after most offices had closed. And his 8 p.m. arrival forecast was replaced by a forecast of midnight in a follow up call. Which meant a rapid rescheduling of our plans to ensure that someone was on hand to give him a warm welcome; clearly, he was having a day that was unplanned-long, and he would want a smile, a swift passage through reception, and one of our team to help with any quick needs.

His arrival was, indeed, a few minutes after midnight. For many hotel, that's an issue ... for us, we've always got IT work to do and any hour of the day or night is as good as any other. I checked him in, and stayed around for half an hour thereafter, largely because I was finishing up filtering some images. This is one of the capabilities we have which makes us especially suited to busy business visitors, late arrivals, early departures.

I look forward to seeing Mr X again towards the end of March; most visitors who come for a first time and have to visit the area again return to us, and that's great. We've got full nights during each of the upcoming weeks ... though plenty of availability at weekends at this time of you. Love to see you if you're looking to stay in Melksham ;-)
