>
> Dear all,
>
>
>
> We are sorry to cancel the Ideas Swap shop scheduled for 29th November at Morley College.
>
>
>
> The turn out on the last one was disappointing, (3 out 36 booked). Most people did not notify NATECLA that they would not come.
>
>
>
> The next workshop does not have sufficient people booked in to justify the administrative work required to run the event. We will be experimenting with other days and times and offer other workshops next term.
>
>
>
> At our last commitee meeting we decided to cancel events which have very low number of participants and for future free events we will start charging people who book and cancel without notification.
>
>
>
> Our only remaining event this term is the ESOL Managers meeting which is getting booked up really quickly (already 50% full after 1 day!). Please note that due to restriction on room capacity this event is only open to ESOL managers, accrediting body, publishers and representatives of government organisations.
