Learn Spanish...
This
course has been designed for adults wanting to communicate
properly with Spanish speakers.
Sandra has been teaching and developing this course
since 2003. Students learn how to build sentences rather
than to memorise or do exercises. Lesson time is devoted
to speaking since this builds confidence, competence
and fluency and more can be covered through speaking
than writing.
All notes are supplied and written translations are
given for consolidation between lessons. The first term
also acts as a complete course in itself, for those
who just want to be able to say what they want to say,
when shopping, dining or travelling.
What past students have said about this unique style
of teaching: "Sandra makes learning Spanish very enjoyable
and very productive." " She concentrates on what is
essential." "The lessons were no pressure, just pleasure!"
"It has given me the confidence to try to actually speak
Spanish."

Mark and Philippa...
We have moved on from badgers to moles, and have
been advised that wind-turbines are the ultimate
deterrent. Has anybody any other suggestions ?

A
Big Thank You...
Thank
you to all those who gave so generously at Barb's
memorial service and through Philip Ford funeral
directors.
The monies received exceeded £2100.00 and has now
been distributed between those charities and good
causes that were close to Barb's wishes.
We know that the funds are being used in a way that
she would have approved of and that will benefit
many for years to come.
Again many thanks from Ken, Ian, Nicki, Jill and
Jon

Local
Guides...
I
am putting together a list of good local restaurants
and also hope to include a few reviews in each
email.
If you have a favourite pub or restaurant you
think is worth mentioning please let me know and
I will include it on the Cranham.net "recommended"
list.
If you can write a short review then even better.
Also, if you have been somewhere that isn't so
good I will also include these.
REVIEWS
The Balti Spice in Gloucester Street, Stroud
Really nice Indian food...an unusual menu with
the expected curry house fayre but also some more
exotic dishes that I hadn't heard of.
Good vegetarian selection too.
Service pleasant - considerate and friendly but
not 'in your face.'
We didn't book (party of 6 on a Tuesday evening)
but I would imagine you'd need to at the weekend.

A good place to eat in Gloucester City Centre?
Is it almost impossible to find a good place to
eat in Gloucester City Centre? - or am I wrong?
- please tell me...
The only place that comes to mind is Prezzo -
46 Southgate Street 01452 414022 - Part of a national
chain but the few times I have been there I have
found it to be surprisingly good - an oasis of
quality in this City.
