Roger used to do courses - maybe you could tempt him out of retirement for a one off appearence.

I took part in a training course here ten years or so ago..

Alf, who runs the course is a very helpful guy. You can learn from a book, but it is a lot easier having somone nip any bad habits in the bud stright away or drumming home the 'Correct' way to do somthing. If nothing elese you will have a very chilled out few days of theroputic wheel building.. You would pay more for a health spa break
