Plans
for 2005
The 2005 programme is on this site - click
here to view the page.
You’ll find all our popular General English and examination courses,
plus a new
IELTS Intensive course which
includes 19 hours per week of preparation for this important examination. If you want to enter a UK university or
college, IELTS is the examination you need to take.
Courses
start in January 2005.
Fame
and Fortune
Abdu Abu Azzah, a student from Saudi Arabia who was
with us in 2002 and 2003, has always had a talent for music. Perhaps you remember him singing in the
garden at our summer Welcome Parties.
Now he’s a television star. He
was chosen from 60,000 applicants to star in Pop Idol, The programme was
recorded in Beirut and shown in many Arabic speaking countries.
And Graham White’s
sons, Alex and Tom, The Electric Soft
Parade, are recording their third album for Sony. Look out for it in a record store near you, or download one of the
songs from the internet.
Summer
in Eastbourne
Eastbourne is always busy in summer. We have the International Ladies’ Tennis Tournament in June.

In August there is the
Airborne
show when hundreds of aeroplanes fly over the seafront of Eastbourne and
perform spectacular displays.
Courses for the Italian Army
We have had four groups of students from the Italian Army
this year. They followed our General
English course and also had special Military English lessons with Dean Holdsworth. Here is a photo of the first group in April 2004.
