Hi Pete
Back in the autumn you kindly gave your support to this new venture, with a short piece on your blog. The programme went well and most tutors are now back again with new courses for the spring - again, these are the sort of courses which it is becoming increasingly hard to find in the public domain - all tutors are either former, or continuing, tutors at The University of Warwick Centre for Lifelong Learning, but (like Birmingham University) Warwick University can no longer afford to fund the kind of high quality, non-qualification based, leisure courses, which, traditionally, many universities used to offer.
There is a lively selection on the site including Literature courses, Art Appreciation courses, Egyptology and Portrait painting. None are actually in Birmingham but all are nearby, including several at Solihull and one of these, on the novel Small World, features 'The University of Rummidge', AKA 'The University of Birmingham.
