### SouthDown ARS | Eastbourne, East Sussex. | Ian Waterhouse ian@m1apt.freeserve.co.uk or by letter to him at Little Bracken, 9 Lottbridge Drove, EASTBOURNE, East Sussex BN23 8AL All enquiries to the above for the Foundation Licence Courses The course consists of seven lessons lasting approximately one and three quarters hours. They are held at 7.30pm on Friday evenings at the Hailsham Leisure Centre. The next course will probably commence later in March 2002. The charges are simply those fees that are laid down by RSGB/RA but we do hope that students will join the society, at least for the first year. There is no other course fee as such. We are aware that circumstances may arise when these times are not convenient, for example, when young people are involved. In these cases we will tailor them to meet the individuals needs. We see that the club has a responsibility to not simply to create the opportunity to pass an exam and then to leave them to their own devices. The amateur fraternity needs to encourage newcomers and our club feels that this can be best achieved inside the environment of a club. Where there is an apparent need we try to ensure that there is an Elmer, someone who can act as guide and helper. By joining the society, the candidates have opportunities to develop their skills, to have use of the club's shack, to attend club meetings, take part in contests, and special event stations etc. Jim Harris G4DRV Registered Foundation & Intermediate Licence Instructor and Morse assessor and Deputy Regional RSGB Manager (DRRM) for both East & West Sussex. Should any potential candidate have difficulty in finding a course near to him or her then I will make every effort to place them with a suitable instructor. Email jim.g4drv@tiscali.co.uk
