Have just moved here and am happy to find this site. Don't know a soul but hope that will change soon! am originally from South Wales and have come up here (via London and Kent) to start as a VERY mature student at UCLAN in Preston, studying Herbal Medicine. Since I will now be living on a student grant (no idea how .....) can anyone tell me if Accrington has a LETS scheme or something similar? will probably be needing some kind of part-time work as well if anyone knows of any jobs going.  By the way what's the Soul night at the Town Hall like? I love everything from Motown to Hip Hop so if it's a good night anyone fancy a bop?! [smiley=ello.gif]    
 
Welcome to Accrington Alison. I am also a mature student at UCLAN in the Midwifery department. Work full time and study Part time Only been to one Soul night at the town hall, ages ago, but it was a real good night. May run into you on campus sometime, not going back til january though, doing a course at Harrogate this semester.  You'll recognise me at Uni, I'll be the one on the car park, itching all over ( doing a module on sexually transmitted infections this time round) Nice!! ;D
 
Soul night sounds good. Havent tried it myself.. I think my dancing days are over... Jeeze how depressing does that sound for a mid 40s soul fan :)

Welcome aboard Alison
 
Hi alison, welcome to accy if your anything like a lot of us on this site you will find this very addictive. [smiley=wave.gif]
 
Hi Alison - the Soul Nights at the Town Hall are very good.

They have different DJ's each time but a lot the same crowd go.

Pop down im sure you'll enjoy it.
:)
 
Whats the age group like at the soul night. I didn't think teenagers where into soul music..
 
Hi Lettie - thanks for the response. Nice to encounter another mature student - just hope my course isn't full of 19 year olds! I'll look out for you and your itch early next year - maybe I'll be able to reccomend a soothing herb or two ......  author=lettie link=board=new;num=1062432343;start=0#1 date=09/01/03 at 17:17:58]Welcome to Accrington Alison.

Hi and thanks to all who replied to me - haven't quite got the hang of replying to replies though....hmmm...... when I get myself sorted with a computer I will have more time to do this but am currently using the local library - which I think is fantastic by the way - compared to where I've come from in deepest Kent.....
 
the age group at the Soul Nights tend to range from early 30's to late 50's so your still young enough to attend HarryX!!!
 
Sounds good.. The wife just gets in obove the lower entry and I just get in below the higher entry :)
 
There you go then HarryX - everyone's a winner.

You never know you might be able to out dance her aswell!!!

;D
 
Hi, Alison. You will soon get the hang of things. Guess I could be classed as a mature student. Just finished my N.V.Q Level 3 in care. Contemplting level four but found cross refrencing very difficult and its putting me off.
 
Quite a few of us then! Done NVQ's. It  can be a bit difficult till you get the hang of the cross referencing. Once you do it makes things a lot simpler and saves extra work in the long run though.

Still contemplating whether to go back to  a third time - still got time yet -  or go on a traing course. Really enjoyed being at college.
