Daytime or evening classes are a good way of filling in spare time and furthering your education. Although there are serious courses available like accounting, languages, computing etc, on which you can get recognised qualifications, there are also lighter interesting subjects.

Over the years i must have enrolled on twenty different courses and i must admit there were quite a few that i didn't finish, but some of the ones i enjoyed the most were brick laying / plastering, woodwork, metalwork, making leaded picture windows and wine appreciation.

As well as getting you out of the house, you get to meet new people and make some new friends.

If you are on benefits or a low income you can often get a discount or even free courses.

If you live in the North Walsham area of Norfolk, Paston College is excellent.
