Consider yourself still unlumped, Penny!

What you say is, of course, what we all do at inclusive sessions (like our Six Bells session) and who would think of invoicing any soul wandering in and expressing interest in joining in?

I ought to declare my interest in this. Cottenham Summer School (CSS) have identified demand for this sort of course, as they have presumably been asked to offer this type of instruction. I was approached to present part of the course on the strength of a couple of workshops that I have already run. CSS calculate the cost of courses, and charge accordingly. CSS pay course tutors for their time and travel expenses. Tutors quite rightly receive a small fraction of the course fees; quite rightly, because tutors enjoy imparting advice and experience to course attendees, and aren't there to earn unconscionable salaries. CSS asked me to advertise their course where I thought there might be some interest, which I have done here, which has been successful for those who have chosen to PM and avoid being howled at here. So would anyone still convinced that this venture is such a terrible rip-off please heap their opprobrium on Cottenham Summer School.

I have simply followed Mudcat Rule Number 1 here by not feeding the trolls, which includes anyone adopting an oh-so-hilarious guest title.
