Estelle speaking. What can I do for you? W: I was told that the school holds … umm, adult education classes? E: Yes, it does. We run seven a week: three on Tuesdays and Thursdays and one on Wednesdays.
W: Are they all evening classes? E: No, because of the number of people who work shifts these days, we’ve found there’s quite a demand for day classes as well. W: Well, I don’t work and I really want to get out and meet people, so daytime or evening would suit me. E: What is it you’re particularly interested in? W: Oh, anything, really. E: Okay … on Tuesdays, we have a Writing Workshop for those people who’ve always longed to write but are hesitant about putting pen to paper. W: Hmm ... E: It’s an evening class and rims from six to seven thirty but there is a restriction on numbers. W: Oh? E: Yes. The tutor has advised us to restrict participants to a maximum of ten per session. So, FU have to check and let you know if there is room for you. W: Thank you. E: Also, on Tuesdays, there is a Book Club designed for older adults looking to be inspired, to learn and share insights with one another. W: Are there any restrictions on that? E: Not really, but you’d have to be able to read the prescribed book each week. W: Mmm , you have to read set books, do you? E: Yes, and keep up with the others by finishing one a week. W: I understand. What else do you have? E: There’s a History Group on Tuesdays as well … run by a researcher and historian who provides a fascinating glimpse for you into the lives and society around this area a hundred years ago. W: Hmm … I don’t think so. E: Well, what about Scrabble Club on Wednesday? It’s extremely popular, you know. W: Sounds good. What time? E: Two to three thirty in the afternoon. W: Yes. 1 think 1 could manage that. E: Well, if you like scrabble, you might like to join the Chess Night on Thursday evenings. It’s more for serious players, though. W: Unfortunately, 1 don't play chess ... E: Would you be interested in Cake Decorating? W: Well, I do enjoy baking from time to time ... E: Have you thought about decorated cakes, though? You know, they make a wonderful focal point of any special celebration.

Welcome, Simon. Now, perhaps you can begin by telling us a little bit about how it all started. MAN: Well, during the 1970s, my wife, Liz and I had just acquired 80 acres of sheep-farming land, and we decided to settle down and have children. Pretty soon we had a daughter, Sarah, and a son, Duncan. The place was wonderful for the kids: they particularly loved trains and gradually built up an enormous network of miniature railway track. I began to develop larger-scale models of locomotives but we didn't think anything more of it until I went on a trip to a theme park near Birmingham and decided we could do a much better job! So we set up a small one ourselves based on the miniature railway and we opened to the public for just a month
