 Workshops 2010 at Upper Grange
Welcome to the new programme
of workshops taking place at Upper Grange, Stroud from January 2010.
These workshops, initially aimed at beginners, will
offer a basic practical knowledge of each subject while encouraging
exploration of our understanding of ‘nutrition’. As such, each subject is
broken into a one-day workshop in each season of the year. At the end of each
year an optional free one-day meeting will offer the chance for each
participant to discuss the nature of nutrition and how, if at all, ones
experience of the workshops have contributed to an understanding of this
enigmatic subject.
The courses will be led by
experienced tutors and costs will be kept low
in order that no one is excluded on account of the price. This is due to a
generous offer on the part of the tutors to take a lower than regular fee.
A simple lunch will be provided from our biodynamic
garden, as much as possible, and the courses fortunate enough to coincide with
the cookery course will benefit from their endeavours.
Please inform us of any dietary requirements you may have.
Cost
£40/person/day: including tuition,
lunch. room hire & materials, a lovely vegetable
garden.
A 5% discount will apply to anyone booking all of
a series of courses up front.
Upper Grange is a research garden and we would
ask if each participant could donate £5 minimum per workshop to assist
in this important work on nutrition.

THE PROGRAMME
-
End of year discussion day ... Saturday 11th December from 10.00 – 4.30pm
At this stage an actual
format for the day has not been decided as it is hoped that the participants
will have an important role to play in its format. The event will be free with
a small, but festive, lunch provided and might possibly include some artistic
activities.
FESTIVAL DAYS
During the yearly cycle a series of festival days take
place at Upper Grange. This year these will also be open to the participants
of the workshops. We will have a bonfire at each – by great demand, of course
– and an early evening bite. While the day is free (and easy) we would welcome
some financial assistance with the catering and on the autumn festival the
local Waldorf College will fund-raise by making pizzas in the on-site bread
oven. More information will be given during the workshops but the dates for
your diaries are;
-
Sunday 21st March -
Spring Festival. Probably bread and soup fare.
-
Sunday 27th June –
Summer Festival. Likely to be baked early
potatoes and salad.
-
Sunday 26th September
– Autumn Festival.
Freshly baked pizzas. What more could one want!
Open Day and Apple Day
Upper Grange also runs an
Open Day
and
Apple Day each
year.
-
The
Open Day is fixed to time with the Stroud Food
Festival which usually takes place in September.
-
The
Apple Day will
take place on Saturday 3rd October 2010 and is a marvelous event to
bring children to and engage with the processing of apples and grapes. There’s
no taste quite like the juice of freshly squeezed apples and grapes!
