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!

  • I wasn't aware, as I couldn't cope now. However in my younger years I enjoyed a guitar class. We learnt chords and notes, so half of our group of 12 played chords and half the tune. The result sounded very good. It is a pity these kind of things are not available now.
