And on Tuesday October 7, David Derrington returns with Think Again! The Hitchhikers Guide to Philosophy.

Also starting on Tuesday October 7, 2-4pm, is another intriguing weekly course is The Story of China, where Karen Chang looks back on the new superpower’s past in which it for so long led the West in terms of sciences, arts, philosophy and culture.
On Friday October 13 Practical Gardening returns, starting at 11.15am, at Udimore village hall. Have fun while you learn and enjoy a lovely cup of tea and cake in friendly company!
