I'm back!

Hi friends - having promised the Southeastern ULR's I would get back on here within the week, here I am! It has been so long since I blogged that I forgot the codes - which is a bit rich as I set them up! Anyway, lovely to see that "Rulers" is still running. There has been a lot of activity in our region, not just us but the other unions we work with as well. I think that all our reps can be justifiably proud of the reputation our projects are getting within the world of adult learning and long may it continue. To all our RMT learning reps I just want to say I hope to seeyou at our conference at the Friends meeting house in Euston Road London on monday next. It will be grrrreat! And what a time I have been having, but I will save that for my next bloggy. One last tiddly thingy TAKE YOUR RELEASE YOU PLUMS! I want to know if anyone is having problems! See ya soon - Mike

RMT Learning Adult Learners Week 2009

Working effectively...

Today I joined other Rail Union Learning Reps at Walkden House to learn about working with colleges to provide courses for our learners.

It was good to meet up with other TSSA reps from different train companies, and we had a very enjoyable (and informative) time.

Thank you to everyone involved!

Southern Learning Centre opens at London Victoria

Taffy Evans invited us to the opening of Southerns new Learning Centre at London Victoria station today, and it was a great opportunity to meet with some of Southerns Union Learning Reps.

Taffy accompanied us at the Lifelong Learning Steering Committee meeting in the afternoon, and joined in the discussions about offering new opportunities to our London-based staff.

We look forward to hopefully working with other TOC's in the future to ensure our Metro-area staff have easier access to their Union Learning Reps and local courses.

Computer Course

Hello all, A very big thank you to all those that attended last week, as the tutor had an assessment, where the class was disrupted due to the class session instead of coming in and start where you left from in your books, so thank you once again.
On a better note we are back to normal this week, so that's good, hope no one was put off.
See you all soon.
