Happy New Year and welcome to the January 2009 issue of the WSA e-newsletter.  Please note the update on the WSA training.  Those that are already booked onto courses do not need to do anything.  If you have any future bookings the WSA can organise these for you at a minimal cost.

The WSA training courses have this year been so popular that we are now unable to take anymore bookings due to reaching our budget limit.  However, if you still wish to attend a course we are able to organise these on your behalf.  Costs are between £50 and £80.  The next round of training will commence in September 2009, with the new programmes coming out later in the summer.  Please contact Greta Gueresi-Leach on 0845 846 0020 for more information.
