Cloisters - January 2007
Happy
2007. We hope you had a restful Christmas holiday and that you’re
ready to take on a new year. Maybe you’ve made a resolution, like
losing the extra Christmas pounds or stopping smoking, but why be negative?
Instead of losing or stopping, why not gain some new knowledge or start
a new hobby? There is bound to be a course in our catalogue that can
launch you into something new for the new year. So have a look at our
big Course Round-up in this issue and see if there is something to catch
your interest.
For fun, remember that we have three of Paul's Puzzles for you and there is still time to get your entry in. Then you can win a voucher towards the course you've just picked.
Have a happy and healthy year in 2007, from all of us at the New Curiosity Shop.
