Venue Information
The majority of our courses are based in Scotland but over the past few
years we have been asked to provide courses throughout the British Isles
including Newcastle, Winchester, Durham, Leeds, Cheltenham and “overseas”
to Belfast, Cork and Dublin!
(If we do not currently have a course scheduled in your area, please contact
us and we will let you know if we are to be in your region).
The courses are held in central locations and are timetabled between 9.15am and 4pm allowing travel time for those coming from outwith the area.
Our Edinburgh and Glasgow venues are accessible from all over the UK with
the introduction of economy airline flights to both cities.
Booking of advance Apex fares also makes train travel very cost effective.
Here are some of the venues that we have used regularly over the past few years and some new 2010 additions:
EDINBURGH
In 2010 we were very sad to have to say farewell to our popular St Colm's
House venue, however we are pleased to introduce a new facility in the same
area of town.
The Carlton
Bridge Centre is a new purpose built venue designed for the Carlton
Bridge Club (yes - card game!) They have excellent teaching facilities with
in-house catering to suit our needs. Situated near the Botanic Gardens in
Edinburgh it is easily accessible by bus or train - if you don't like the
idea of negotiating Edinburgh traffic!
The web link above will take you to an interactive map to show you the exact
location.
GLASGOW
Another new addition to our TREC Course venues is the Glasgow
North Conference Centre This facility has been developed in the newly
refurbished Springburn library. It provides not only ideal teaching space,
but has car parking and is 2 minutes walk from Springburn Station. The above
web link will give you more details about travel and train times.
INVERNESS
The teaching facilities available at Highland
Hospice in the centre of Inverness, are the perfect location for the
TREC courses.
DUNKELD
We are pleased to have introduced courses in the beautiful setting of the
Birnam Arts Centre
- next to the village of Dunkeld (just north of Perth on the A9). The courses
here will run from 10.00am - 5pm allowing easy travel from Inverness, Dundee,
Perth, Glasgow, Edinburgh….and anywhere in between! The railway station
at Dunkeld is 2 minutes walk from the centre, and for anyone requiring overnight
accommodation there are ample B&Bs and hotels. This is a beautiful part
of the world - one of our favourite venues!
WINCHESTER - the historic setting of Winchester Cathedral is where you will find the Paul Woodhouse Suite set within the tranquil Visitors' Centre. Only 10 minutes walk from the railway station so a perfect venue for our visits "down south"
LEEDS - For our 2010 course we are delighted to be heading
back to the excellent facilities provided by the Prout
Conference Centre - attached to St Gemma's Hospice. We are always assured
of a very professional and warm welcome in this lovely facility - one of
our best venues!
DURHAM - is the newer additions to our TREC destinations.
The teaching and conference facilities are part of Durham University and
are just a 15 minute walk or very short taxi ride from the railway station.
