To book:
Option
1. Send the full fee.
Option 2. Send two cheques together, one for £20 deposit, and the second
post-dated until four weeks before the course for the remainder.
Cheques must be
made payable to 'Tim Sheppard', and sent to: 4 Oakenhill
Road, Brislington, Bristol BS4 4LR, England. Tel. (0117) 977-6354. Email:
wildtimes@timsheppard.co.uk
with any questions. If you have problems finding the money in advance,
talk to me for arrangements.
The deposit is refundable
up to six weeks before the course starts. Remainder of fee is non-refundable
after three weeks before the course starts. If the course is cancelled,
all fees will be returned.
I may also shortly
be offering the chance to pay by credit card over the web, via the PayPal
system - let me know if you'd like to use this (you will need to register
for a free account, not too intimidating, and useful elsewhere).
The Wild Weekend
takes place either in St Werburghs, near the M32 into central
Bristol, at the Gasworks Studio (see here
for directions), or at the Pierian Centre,
near the M32 into central Bristol (see here
for directions). If you live out of town, I can try and help you find
accommodation, possibly with others on the weekend. You'll be sent a
welcome pack with full directions, map, and schedule after receipt of
your deposit.
Lunches and refreshments:
Lunch is not inclusive
in the course fee. At the Pierian Centre a nice catered buffet is provided
for an extra fee. You are welcome to bring your own packed lunch instead.
At the Gasworks Studio please bring your own packed lunch. In the breaks
hot and cold drinks, fruit, and biscuits will be available for free.
Give your friends
a gift voucher, at no cost to you, and earn yourself a discount!
Or bring a friend or two and all of you get discounts. See the details
on this page.
A wide variety
of people and ages attend, many with no previous experience. The games
ensure that you'll fit in and enjoy yourself whatever your reasons for
coming.
These courses are
popular and have been running for a number of years, so are often fully
booked some time in advance. Please book, or at least let me know your
intentions, as early as possible.
CHOOSING BETWEEN
EVENINGS OR WEEKEND
The evening course
(if available) is longer in hours, and therefore contains more material.
It allows one to absorb and progress over time, consolidating one's
new discoveries. The weekend course is more convenient for many, more
intense and hence able to achieve more in less time. It is shorter in
hours, though covering the same range of skills. Many people repeat
the courses several times - since they're based on improvisation they
are always fresh, with more to teach you. One can do the evening course
to consolidate what one started on a weekend, or do a weekend as a refresher
after doing evenings. There are also occasional intermediate 'Wilder'
courses.
