Further to Tristram Wyatt's reply ...
There was quite a buzz of Copus-supported activity with the WI about 10
years ago. You can get into some of the background by googling on
<"denman college" copus>
Sue Pringle (then at the Bristol University Extramural Dept) was indeed one
of the instigators, but a number of others were involved - including two or
three people from Techniquest. I'm fairly sure that the BA was active in
this programme, too.
By all means contact me off-line if you'd like more info. and contacts.
