With the assistance of Help For Heroes (H4H) Scotland, Veterans Tribe Scotland (VTS) and Veterans Outreach Support (VOS) Portsmouth, BBV has put together on-line courses which are able to be undertaken by veterans in Scotland and an in-person session in Portsmouth. They are arranged by:

• Emma Weir, facilitator for H4H Scotland: [email protected]
• Gerry McGregor facilitator for VTS:  [email protected]
• Wendy Pearson facilitator for VOS (Portsmouth): [email protected]

Further details can be found in the Events page of the website or from the facilitators listed above.

With the constraints that Covid regulations have placed on us, BBV has developed online courses which are delivered using the Zoom conferencing app. Students are sent a box containing all the tools and materials required to complete the course in the comfort of their own home. The courses are split into two parts made up of two days and three days and this arrangement is proving popular with our students. The tools are returned to BBV at the end of the course.

In addition to the main courses, BBV has developed an online version of the Beginners’ Bookbinding Sessions which were previously held at Tedworth House, Tidworth. A trial run has taken place and it is planned to launch these in the New Year.

Face to face courses have returned to the Barn at Woodborough with suitable Covid precautions in place.
