The City & Guilds Introduction to Trainer Skills is designed to provide the participants with a sound introduction to the concepts of a systematic approach to training. It is comprehensive in content at this level, building the skills, knowledge and abilities of a participant that is required to be an effective trainer.

Autumn Holidays
Whilst the weather is unpredictable, the Ramble Group, led by Ian, are taking a break and hope to try one or two different activities. We are being helped in this by Graham at WAVE, a local organisation who provide active pursuits for people with disabilities and mental health problems. In October Paul, Stewart and Richard went along to Ardwick and reached some dizzy heights on the Climbing Wall, an activity organised by Ian and Graham at the Manchester Climbing Centre.

Edward Montagu inherited the Beaulieu Estate on the death of his father, John Montagu, a motoring pioneer, when he was just two years old. The family seat, Palace House, was built around the original gatehouse of Beaulieu Abbey, a Cistercian monastery founded on land granted to the Order by King John in 1204. The Estate was sold to Lord Montagu’s ancestor, Thomas Wriothesley, 1st Earl of Southampton, by Henry VIII in 1538.
