Some will still take new learners - eg Keeping Fit - the Gentle Way, and Pilates. Please contact ACRES Uckfield Office Tel no 01825 761820 for more information. Further, in the summer term, there is an exciting new venture of taster sessions at Hailsham and Uplands (Wadhurst) plus a wide range of free taster sessions in most of our courses. This is an opportunity to try courses without paying a penny! An advertisement will be going into the Friday Ad. Yvonne Wright will be commencing her exciting - not to be missed social dance courses, this term based at Uckfield. These include - ballroom, Latin and rock- suitable for both men and women. An industrious day of quilting by a group of ACRES students will benefit disadvantaged children. A total of eleven ladies who learn patchwork and quilting at the WI hall in Ghylll Road Crowborough took part in Project Linus. Teacher Corinne Simpson got her students involved in the charity after learning about them at a quilting event in Lewes. Project Linus sees volunteer "blanketeers" work all over the UK and America to hand make quilts for youngsters who are seioulsy ill or traumatised. Mrs Simpson said "Everybody said they had a terrific day. It was very quiet a lot of the time with sewing machines buzzing." The group finished eight blankets on the day and hope to be able to send up to 24 completed blankets to children in need. Well done, ladies! Latino Dancing and Rock & Roll Yvonne Wright has just completed two short dance courses at Heathfield Community College - Latino Dancing and Rock & Roll. The feedback after the first session was superb. "Great!" was the comment. Even the men there enjoyed it. Strictly Come Dancing - watch out! All the dance courses in Sport, Health and Fitness are proving very popular. Whether tastes are for Dance as a form of exercise, the allure of the Belly Dance, the vibrancy of Latin American or the social type dance like Rock - dance is a superb way of getting fit and having an enjoyable time. Celebrating Success at ACRES Didn’t they do well! ACRES held a celebratory evening for students who achieved success on examination and accredited courses in the last year. This popular and enjoyable event, first held last year, provides the opportunity for tutors to present certificates to students and for an evening’s reflection on their impressive achievements, often exceeding personal expectations, to fulfil individual and career goals.
