If a course is nearly full, then that probably suggests that it is popular. I can put your mind at rest, though, we do not prepare young girls (or boys...all our courses are open to everyone, regardless of age or gender) for beauty pageants. People studying beauty therapy are acquiring...

Archery? Nobody told me there was archery. In fairness, I can see why they didn't tell me about the crepes. I have got form. Did you notice lots of balloons? I blew-up so many of them yesterday that I made myself dizzy. I shall be really disappointed if they are still floating around a...

Oh - one thing I forgot. I checked and the minimum age for the sauna and steam room is 16. Everything else is fine for all ages. ....and another thing (then I am definitely turning off the PC) they aren't really trying to accommodate hundreds of people. Places will be limited so that people...

Sorry for late reply - just back from sampling the very lovely Swan Brasserie (which is looking FAB after its refurb) and quickly checked messages... First, Yes, Sandonia, you do need to book. You don't need to book specific activities or therapies ahead but you do need to book a place. That's...

Hi Zebidee No, there is no minimum (or maximum) age limit on the beauty treatments or the sports activities which are designed to be family-friendly. The only age restriction applies to the sauna and steam room. The beauty staff will warmly welcome your child - they do children's pampering...

I have just been lucky enough to attend a meeting in the County Buildings. What a stunning, completely gorgeous environment! I swept up a fabulous staircase, imagining I was wearing a big taffeta dress, and into a beautiful set of rooms with oak panelling, high ceilings and big leather sofas...

Thank-you so much, TCRL. I will forward your comment to the people over in the Beauty Academy. We do a lot of work trying to set out the benefits of vocational education and you have done so perfectly, in your post! Clare

Hi Kyoto49, You were quite right. I had a look on the website and the info had been added, but only as 'Saturday Junior College' with no reference to beauty. I'm really grateful to you for pointing that out. I asked for it to be changed this morning and now the info re costs and weeks is in a...

Hi all I wondered if you would mind helping me with a bit of research? It has been suggested to hold a sort of family fun day on a Saturday in May. The aim is to raise awareness of some of the facilities which either are or may soon be open to the public. Loosely, the proposal is for an...

Hi You might have seen the pictures of the last Guest Chef night at Riverbank, when the students created astonishing plates of food in a menu designed and overseen by Matt Davies, executive chef with the Lewis Partnership. I gather that Matt has kindly agreed to do another of these evenings on...
