BUDDING novelists and poets can learn the tricks and techniques of the writing trade.

A new creative writing course is being run by Bexley Workers' Educational Association (WEA).

The course starts on September 18 and will be held in the adult education centre in Brampton Road, Bexleyheath.

If learning about other people is your interest, you could enrol in classes to find out what the ordinary ancient Egyptians were doing while their Pharaohs were occupied with matters of state.

This 10-week course also starts on September 18.

To find out more about what Bexley WEA has on offer this autumn or for more details on the two courses, call 020 8300 1845.
