Work baa condoued oa brllllina to fruition the abon ICheme. M.r. G. C. H. Poa baa been appointed chlel tiaining of&cer and Mn. Rhoda Barrow the eecretu)< of the ac:beme.

DetaiJa abould have reached all those who have applied for them and entry forma are now available from Mrs. Barrow at S Ellis .Avenue, Chalfont St. Peter, Bucb. Telephone 02-813-84141 (please send S.A.E.).

At present it Ia hoped to bold to the published time table as follows : lit "'0" level uamination-24th April, 1971.

Closing date for entries-1st March, 1971. 2nd "'0" level examination-2nd October, 1971.

Clo ing date for entries-1st August, 1971. lit "'A" level examination-2nd October, 1971.

Closing date for entries- 1st August, 1971. Feea are £5 for each examination sat. It Ia planned to start courses in the summer under E.B.U. appointed training

of&c:ers. There will be separate " 0 " and " A " level courses and the fee for each course taken will be £15 for at least twenty hours' tuition.

Those who wish to do so are entitled to attempt the examinations without 6nt attending a course.

The above plans have been complicated by the present postal strike and if tbJa continues beyond the 12th February, al terations will be made to the time table.

It Ia most encouraging to be able to report that almost 400 applications for details have been met and in the short time available before the postal strike started enough entries came in to suggest that the scheme will be well sup­ported. It seems therefore that it will become a useful supplement to the many facilities already offered by the E.B.U.

It will assist the committee considerably if all those interested in the scheme wUl remember that although every effort will be made to make arrangements auiting the majority, it is certain that with a scheme co erin2 the whole country eome individuals will find that the plan do not suit their persooaJ preferences exactly. It would be of particular istance if tho wishi.n& to enter for examinations or courses could do so as soon as postal services are resumed. Such entries should be sent to Mrs. Barrow .
