  1. I have read your flyer for the Foundation course and I am interested in attending if there are still places available. However just want to check that the dates are correct and that it is the days that have been miss printed on the flyer that I have. That is it says Thursday 31st July and Friday 1st August but my calandar says 31st is the Friday and the 1st is a Saturday so just not sure which is the miss print. If you can let me know that would be great.
    Regards,
    Sally
