Dos and docs

I've got some spare copies of the 2007 Special issue of 'Link' Magazine - The publication of the HLST (HEA). Contents include: 'First yr Undergraduates' approaches to e-learning'; 'Virtual Learning Environments for teaching hospitality, leisure, sport and Tturism'; and 'Embedding intellectual and transferable skills in undergraduate courses in tourism, hospitality and leisure' - Please come and get your copy from the Subject Librarian office a.s.a.p. first come, first served!

In addition, I also have some information, again from the HLST (HEA) about a forum which may be interesting to some of you. It's an overnighter at the National College for School Leadership in Nottingham, on the 11th/12 th February. The leaflets I have, include a booking form, but you can also get the necessary info by clicking here and choosing the link within the first entry on the events page.

Ok, so those were the 'docs' now for the 'Dos'.....!

In fact it's another event organised by the Heart of England Branch of the Institute of Hospitality. My last entry on here was was for a previous event of theirs at the Baggies football ground, which I attended and which, despite a poor attendence was very interesting! Their next event is a trip to the newly refurbished Becketts Farm in Wythall, on Thursday 24th January. The site now has an extended farm shop, a new commercial kitchen which will be used as a demonstration kitchen & training centre for the industry as well as a conference centre & catering venue. At a charge of just £5, the event will begin at 6.00pm with a sampling/tasting session in the farm shop. There will then be an opportunity to tour the new Demonstation & Training Kitchen with some live demonstrations, and presentations.


If you would like to attend, you will need to forward a cheque, made payable to, Institute of Hospitality Heart of England Branch, to; Kathleen Russell, 2 Canal Cottages, Hanbury Wharf, Worcs, WR97DV.
