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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
Over a hundred welcoming businesses - Melksham Town Centre

Melksham can celebrate a hundred open-for-business doors (shops and services) in its High Street area - I know that because I walked around early this morning, pushing flyers for the Chamber of Commerce meeting that's happening on Tuesday evening through letter boxes.

There's a great deal going on in the Melksham area, and it's best for businesses to be aware ahead of time and prepare for changes, rather than to simply react when those changes happen. The Campus, the canal, public transport, new outlets, new town and unitary councils in May all herald potential changes and opportunities. Various members of the Chamber of Commerce keep their ears and eyes open, and the monthly Chamber meeting is a chance for busy businesspeople to be efficiently informed.

All are welcome to next Tuesday's meeting - and there's a list of current subjects that may arise [here]. Come along, and ask about any of these topics, or raise your own. We may not know the answers ourselves, but we probably have contacts who do!

There's also a more general answer to "What can the Chamber of Commerce do for me?" [here] - the list of ways it can help is a long one, so of necessity the introduction page cherry-picks.




Actually, there's more than 100 businesses in the Town Centre... some businesses don't provide letter boxes for out of hours correspondence, and there are three "gated communities" in the town where on a Sunday morning the shops and services remain firmly locked away behind barriers, repelling all interest in their shopfronts! Please feel free to pass on this URL / link / your copy of the flyer is you got one. Hope to see a lot of you on Tuesday Evening for 18:30.
