Ruth Garner wrote a new post, Bite sized to life long learning 7 years, 11 months ago

I found this interesting – for my pastimes, I am very into learning something new but not at all bothered about formal qualifications. So the approach that we have within UKQU is perfect for me!

Thank you Cheryl. Learning something new is what keeps us all young, excited and inspired. We can gauge our own degree of mastering a new skill or knowledge base and that is all that matters for most of us (oh….. and sharing the results with us all in the UKQU Continuing Development group of course. ).
