Autumn Term: September to December 2008

As many of you will know, the 28 year partnership between the Guildford Institute and the University of Surrey will end on 31 July. However, in the words of Mark Twain, rumours of our death have been greatly exaggerated - and we are very pleased to bring you our Autumn Term course brochure and to let you know that it will be 'business as usual' in Ward Street.

Some familiar faces are making a welcome return to the Institute to join the team of your favourite tutors and we are sure you will find something to interest you. With the 'Beano' restaurant serving teas, coffees and delicious home-made vegetarian lunches and the Institute Library, stocked with recent publications and an extensive archive collection, you can feed both your mind and your body this Autumn!

Look out, too, for the Guildford Institute 'What's On?' leaflet, giving details of all the usual Institute activities, which are open to everyone.

Our 10% discount on course enrolment has now been extended to include not only Guildford Institute members, but concessions and those in receipt of benefits.

Please enrol for all courses at least two weeks before they begin.

Do let us know if you have any suggestions for courses that you would like to see at the Institute.
