Anyone mourn the passing of cheap municipal evening classes - all kinds of arts and crafts?

Another victim of funding cuts, these days (where I live) the only evening classes are adult literacy and basic maths. I remember enjoying all kinds of classes, beginning around October and very cheap, being part-funded by local authorities. I learned the basics of pottery, woodwork, stained glass window making, weaving and Tai Chi. Would love to hear your memories of evening classes!

  • Many years ago there were plenty of free academic courses for people on a low income at my local college.  This enabled me to take several courses I missed out on when I was at school.  Now all of these are gone.

    I completed 'O' levels in:

    1. Accounting
    2. Computer studies. 

    'A' levels in

    1. Physics
    2. Chemistry 
    3. Biology 

    I achieved grade As in all of them.

    I also partially studied introductory courses in Economics,  French,  German, Russian and English language(  my big weakness).
