Section 2. You will hear an Arts Centre Director giving information to a group of
people attending an Arts Weekend. First you have some time to look at questions 11
-15 on page 3.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 -15. Welcome to Grampic Arts
Campus for our annual Residential Arts Weekend. I'm Bob Grayne, Director of the
Programme. It's a large campus, it's quite easy to get lost, so I'm going to giveyou a
quick overview of the most important places here.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Right, I'm glad you all found your way here to reception. First, a word about parking.
We do have a free temporary car park here. And for those of you coming by bike, the
bike sheds aren't far from reception. You'll see them on your left as you walk down
South Lane the residential rooms. Now, dinner is in the dining room at 7 .30.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
If you need something to eat now, the snack shop is still open. The quickest way to
get there is to leave here, go straight through the office, they won't mind, the
ornamental ponds in front of you and the snack shop is the building on your left. The
fitness facilities are even better this year. We've outgrown the old fitness rooms,
which were next to the office. To find the new fitness rooms from here, walk up to
North Road,
Speaker 1 (02:01):
they're at the end in the last block next to the dining room. Now, your bedrooms are
quite near. You can see the single rooms in the tall block to far left of us across
South Lane. Couples and families are in our family rooms, right next door to them.
I'm afraid there aren't any TVs in the rooms. We ask you to keep the noise down,
please. We have a TV room, you can probably see it from here, it's right opposite us
in the big red building.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Before you hear the rest of the information, you have some time to look at questions
16 to 20 on page 4. But there are gaps in our timetables for some extra options.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
You may have this information in your brochure, but there've been some changes.
Firstly, the drama option. I'm afraid our theatre and practice rooms here are being
refurbished and are out of use. We decided against using our sports hall and instead
we're going to use our lecture rooms, which we've converted into a theatre for the
weekend.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
There are also changes to the photography option. This year, this option isn't open to
everyone. We decided for practical reasons to reserve it for beginners with no
previous experience. Let me remind you that you don't need any special equipment,
that's provided. The tutors have said that unfortunately they can't accept parents with
children because that proved too disruptive last time. But if you're over 18,

Speaker 1 (04:01):
that's fine. Onto the writing option. Previous courses looked at starting your novel.
This year, we wondered about focusing on the techniques of writing different types of
poetry. However, as a result of many requests, we've decided the workshop will
concentrate on helping each participant write one or more short stories. Poetry may
be some future time. Now, music.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
The brochure says you'll go to a concert. That's a misprint. Instead, you'll be
writingand putting on your own performance, a concert for yourselves. Unfortunately,
the singing tutor is ill. It's too late to replace her, so we've had to cancel singing
lessons. Apologies for that. Finally, the creche. This is available for all families on the
programme and there are still some places left.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that the charge for this hasn't increased since last
year. Lunch is included, but of course parents are welcome to collect their children
and spend the lunch break with them. May I remind you that any fees for this service
must be settled in full at the end of the last day. So, has anybody got any questions?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Now turn to section 3 on page 5.
