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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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 brilliant finish to 2014 training and business guests, and a look to 2015

Yesterday - Friday afternoon - saw the end of a long series of courses I've given over the last couple of months, and we've seeing hotel (business) guest bookings dry up from hectic to zero, as we would expect, over the Christmas period.

We wouldn't exist without our customers, and we wouldn't enjoy our jobs without happy customers, so it's thrilling to finish for the business customer break with two wonderful reviews

For a training course ... "Great, Very Flexible in Approach. Highly recommended"

For a hotel stay ... "Thank you for a lovely stay. Not only are the staff vert friendly and helpful, but the house is so clean which amazed me as you are so dog friendly as well. Huge thanks also for being so good at getting some dairy free goods."

We may have finishes business customer work for Christmas, but I've now got contract work and admin to do (catch up on!) over the next few days, together with our own Christmas prep and some "rail stuff".

The hotel remains very much open over the Christmas period - indeed we're even open on Christmas day, and nearly full on boxong day night. Booking via [here].

Training courses restart on 5th January 2015 with a private course for a West London company, and our schedule for private courses is pretty well filled right through January and February. Public courses on our web site remain available for booking. (You will see few courses in the early weeks of the new year due to this heavy private course diary)

Each year, we review prices for bookings made from 1st January. This year, once again, the base price of training courses remains unaltered. Delegate rooms at Well House Manor rise - for the first time for in quite a few - will rise by 10 pounds per night (60 to 70 pounds + VAT), as will trainer's expenses when our tutor stays away to travel on site. On the other hand, the milage rate we charge for travel to and from onsite verues is reduced by 10p per mile, sharing with our customers savings made by slighly lower fuel charges, and the ability to use more cost effective travel means such as going by train rather than driving a car as the sole passenger. The net effect is that a few course prices rise, by perhaps 20 or 30 pound for a week's coures, other will drop by tens or (occasionally) even hundreds of pounds.

The double room hotel rate of £95.00 remains unchanged, and the single room rate rises to £90.00, bearing in mind the lower incremental cost of breakfast and serviceing a hotel room for a second person, but the increasing costs of almost everything else. These hotel rates still include room, breakfast, internet access, early and late checking and checkout, car parking, (Melksham) station pickup for guests.
