SUMMER PROGRAMME
WELCOME
Welcome to the Summer Programme 2009
Come and join us for one or two weeks of relaxation and activity, learning and
creativity, enjoyment and friendship a holiday with a real difference. While
many people attend as residents, staying in our superior student residences,
you are equally welcome to attend on a daily basis.
Wide choice of courses
The wide choice of courses includes arts, crafts, writing, music, walking,
history, literature, sports, hobbies, languages and much more. There are
many exciting new activities this year including North West Gourmet Tour,
Parapsychology and Haunted Houses, Botanic Illustration, Walking the Wainwrights, Indian textiles and
more besides!
Many of our courses, such as architecture, archaeology, ecology and the environment, and discovering the
churches, will take you out and about in the area around Lancaster and the Lake District.
Summer Evenings
It is not only your days which are filled with interest and activity on the Summer Programme each evening
a free programme of social activities is open to you. There will be plenty to do and plenty of choice.
All social events are included in your course fee. All course participants are welcome to attend these events,
whether or not you are staying on campus.
Evening events include: Salsa dancing, wine tasting, African drumming workshop, country drive, debate,
slideshow, concert, film, play reading, guided walks around historic Lancaster and amazing Morecambe, as
well as along the canal to a nearby traditional pub.
Fun for children and young people too!
Activities for children and young people combine action-packed days on campus with trips to local
attractions. There is also a separately organised and supervised social programme for children and young
people, so that you and your children can each enjoy your own interests during the evenings. We run it till
8.30pm for the under 11s and 10pm for those up to 14 years.
The Lancaster Experience
Here at Lancaster we are renowned for the warmth of our welcome, the quality of the courses and the
enthusiasm of the tutors. The welcome starts as soon as you arrive (including being transported from the
railway station on Sunday or having your bags carried from your car). Summer Programme staff are always
available to help, advise or deal with requests and problems. Nothing is too much trouble and each year
customers commend the staff for their efficiency, courtesy and friendliness.

Get
it more often
By using all the methods of transport available to us in a sensible manner we can help to reduce the
congestion on our roads. We all know how easy it is to fall into the trap of using the car for every journey.
The concept of
message.
it is a programme that encourages people to make better use of cars and promotes the use of public
transport, cycling and walking. Why not think before you use your car? For some journeys it may be
essential to use a car. However for others, you might be able to use public transport, cycle or walk.
Look out for advertising on the sides of local buses and on posters at bus shelters Take it more
often! So keep your eyes open!
walk it
Walking has many health benefits, and can also generate an overall feeling of well being, relax you and
stimulate your thinking.
In heavy traffic jams, the air quality inside a car can be poorer than outside. Car users suffer up to 3
times more pollution than pedestrians. Walking reduces traffic congestion. 25% of car trips are less than
2 miles and the majority of trips under one mile are on foot, but the proportion is gradually decreasing as
more people take to their cars for short trips. The consequence is ever more local congestion, and ever
more challenging conditions for walking.
Join in with one of the lunchtime walks led by rangers from Lancaster County Councils Countryside
Service which will be happening every Tuesday. So why not take a break, take part and keep fit? See Be
Part of It for further details.
share it
Lift sharing ride sharing car sharing or car pooling all come down to the same thing two or
more people sharing a car to get them from A to B rather than driving alone. The benefits are numerous
both for yourself, your family, your community and the environment.
Many companies in the area already encourage workers to car share if everyone who drives on their
own to work every day was to share a lift with someone just once a week, the commuting car journeys
would be reduced by 25%.

bike it
Staying healthy whilst leading a busy lifestyle helps you to maintain a healthy heart. On
average an adult needs to do 30 minutes of moderate exercise 5 days per week, and less than
30% of us in the UK achieve this.
Cycling to work or the shops is an excellent way to do this, as only a 15-minute journey (approx
3 miles or less) twice a day is enough. Cycling at about 10mph burns about 400 to 500 calories
and will save you money that you would spend on petrol getting about or keeping fit at the gym.
Lancaster makes an ideal base for a days cycling. Cycling helps you to keep fit, can save time
by cutting through congested traffic, and is fun!
If you havent cycled for a while, and want to get back on your bike, pay a visit to Cycle Point
and hire a bike. Based in central Lancaster, at the heart of a network of off-road and on-road
cycling routes, Cycle Point can provide support for the more experienced enthusiast. There are
some great cycle ways from Lancaster to Morecambe, to the university and alongside the River
Lune. Also, look out for Cycle Point Budgie Bikes scheme offering low cost cycle hire from
selected outlets across the area. You can pick up a bike at one outlet and leave it at another.
For further information about cycling contact one of Lancashire County Councils cycling
offices on 01772 534609.
For bike hire, contact Cycle Point, Lancashire Station, Meeting House Lane, Lancaster.

By using the Whats It Worth? tool you will find useful information about your item such as the
average selling price, average starting price, and volume of recently sold items. You can also find
great information on pricing, features, and key words that attract buyers by browsing Completed
Listings.
TEXT 1
Getting that first bid is critical, as buyers are more likely to jump in if there are already bids on
auction. Buyers may lose interest if they assume an item is overpriced. Many successful sellers
set a low opening bid to jumpstart bidding and increase their final selling price.
TEXT 2
Specifying reasonable shipping and handling costs in your listing is essential for smart selling.
eBay's free Shipping Calculator provides real-time shipping costs to buyers all over the world, so
you can increase your chances of success. Remember that a long wait can be both boring and
frustrating for customers.
TEXT 3
Maximizing your item title is a must if you want to sell your product. Be sure to include key words
that buyers will search for, such as unique or descriptive attributes, and always check your
spelling. Your item title is critical in helping users find your items, so use each character wisely.
TEXT 4
A good description is concise, well organized, and easy to read. Create bold section headlines,
bulleted lists, and be sure to include item style/type, brand, condition, and other attributes. Think
about your listing from the buyer's perspective the more information you provide, the more
likely buyers are to place a bid.
TEXT 5
A picture really is worth more than a thousand words! Use clear, well-lit photos from a variety of
angles to accurately showcase your item. Use good lighting and an uncluttered background to
get the most out of your photo. Add additional photos to showcase details and unique features
of your item.

TEXT 6
Always respond quickly to any buyer questions. Include extras or a handwritten note in the box
to really surprise and delight your customers. Make sure to leave feedback for your buyer so
theyll do the same for you. Successful communication is one of the keys to successful business.
TEXT 7
After the sale make sure that you pay for shipping, print labels on your home printer, and
schedule free carrier pick-up-all online and at no additional charge so you can save money,
time, and a trip to the post office! We make it easy for you, so please make it easy for us.

effectiveness. "Drivers now face a system overload," says Mr Walker. "Signs are duplicated, in some
cases triplicated, leaving little time for the information to be seen and processed."
Even the most well-designed road sign will be of little use if nobody can make it out.
