Advice on Kit to Take to Quality Time Courses

You might do well to get hold of catalogues from, say, Cousins Material House , from Meadows & Passmore and from H S Walsh.

We'll be ordering stuff from any or all of these during the week.

You don't actually have to bring all this kit, because everything you need is provided; this list is a guide only - bring what you can.

I find students are usually keen to have my advice about extending their kit.
