sleep123 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Just been notified of a change in venue for the Associates classes from January. Just wondered whether this is causing anyone else any problems re. increase journey time/ lack of trains/buses etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusster Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 My DD is part of JAs Bristol. And yes it will be a nightmare to get to, over an hour away now. BUT I did chose Birmingham as an option when applying so I can't really complain as I was prepared to travel an hour way there if it was the only option. I think what makes it worse is that there is not a lot to do in Radstock for 2 hours! Might have to take up running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happymum Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Sadly for as it will be 1h and 36 mins according to my GPS. And yes, not much to do comparing to the old venue. Now Birmingham JA's are closer, 1h20mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleep123 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Yes our journey time will be now up to 2 hours one way...so Birmingham would be closer but we do love Karen so wouldn't contemplate a change! I feel sorry for friends that use the train as there are no direct routes to Bath for them and Bus service from the station doesn't look great either. Hey ho the things we have to do!

sleep123 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Out of interest can someone tell me where they hold the Birmingham Associates and who currently takes the classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happymum Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Not sure but I always thought they are hold at Birmingham Hippodrome? But we also love Karen so will just follow her to Bath :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedeidi Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 My DD is a Bristol Associate and we currently travel by train. The new venue will mean expensive and very long car journey (2.5 hours each way), teamed with car sick DD. Disappointed new venue no where near Bristol or Bath :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happymum Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I'm sorry Bedeidi, it really is a long journey for you. Are other JA classes better? Maybe you'll be able to get place In Birmingham or Totnes? I wonder if it's just a temporary change or permanent new venue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedeidi Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Thanks Happymum. DD is an MA so no class in Totnes. Let's hope it is just temporary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleep123 Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Hate to tell you but this will be the new permanent venue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
