A warm welcome to CLC - The Cockfosters Learning Centre

I always find it remarkable that it is precisely at that time of the year when the weather closes in and is at its most inclement that CLC attendance is always at its strongest.

As we enter our fifth year, the CLC committee has endeavoured to provide you with what I am sure you will agree is an outstanding programme for the Autumn Term.

Undoubtedly the highlight of this term will be the visit of Dr Ali Bacher, the legendary captain of the South African Cricket Team prior to the international boycott, who will speak about his remarkable career in sport and the battle to achieve race equality in South Africa. I am eagerly looking forward to interviewing not only Dr Bacher but also other famous personalities during the second half of each evening.

In Session A, we are once again offering you a wide choice of varied and stimulating courses. We are particularly delighted this term to welcome Rabbi Yehuda Silver of the SEED organisation who will conduct his outstandingly successful Foundations Course in basic Judaism.

Of particular interest to those who wish to brush up on their Ivrit, will be the relaunch of our Ulpan. This is now going weekly and will extend outside term time so that there will be ongoing continuity of learning.

The evening will commence with our popular 'Dine and Learn' early evening supper provided by a variety of our most popular restaurants at the amazing price of £4 per head. This will provide an opportunity for many of you to come straight from work and enjoy a delicious hot meal in congenial surroundings and a chat with your friends.

Our opening evening is on Monday 3rd November and I look forward to welcoming you for another exciting year at CLC.
