[Design and Technology] Safe Use of Machinery Holmesglen Vacation Course

Tue May 19 20:40:22 EST 2009

Hi all
I'm with Paul here on this issue but at the same time I am aware that 
this is a Prototype course. Think of it this way Paul. If they 
experimented with the course in the country, some might say that they 
are using the country folk in an experimental laboratory trial before 
bringing it to the big smoke. Some may complain at that, but by 
testing it in the city it is sparing the angst of country folk during 
the experimental and refining stages of the development of the 
course. Think of it as a Godsend!
By the way did you check out the cost of the course. What am I to do? 
I am a CRT Design &Tech (wood), who would like to do the course. Who 
pays for me?
