New Course for September 2026

Dr Gina May is pleased to add a new course to our extensive course catalog starting Tuesday September the 8th. This new online course is “Aspects of Babylonia“, a twelve week offering covering evidence of our knowledge and assumptions of the culture of Ancient and Neo-Babylonia.

Aspects of Babylonia
This fascinating course looks in detail at a range of evidence that makes up our knowledge of Ancient and Neo-Babylonia. Born from the fertile delta of Mesopotamia, Babylonian culture exploded into a period of complex and surprisingly modern innovation and discourse.
Price: £300.00

New Courses from September 2025

We are proud to add “Cunieform” and “The Rise and Fall of Athens” to our online courses.

Cunieform
This course teaches the basics of Cuneiform and advances to look at a number of key texts including fragments of the Epic of Gilgamesh, various letters, inscriptions and spells. Being able to decipher these key texts opens a window into a world of political and social order and unrest, wars and treaties; relationships with the gods and the day to day musings of the ancient Near East.
Price: £150.00

The Rise and Fall of Athens
This course examines, in detail, Greek history from the end of the Persian invasions to the fall of Athens in 404 BC. The main themes are the rise and fall of the power of Athens and the role of the Persian Empire in Greek history in the 5th century. This course is delivered on a Tuesday 9am - 10:30am split into two five week terms: Term 1 - 30/09/25-28/10/25 inclusive and Term 2 - 11/11/25-09/12/25

Westgate Quiz #3 Goes from Strength to Strength!

What a great night at the Westgate Quiz! Six teams all vying for the main cash prize and the competition could not be closer. Just a small matter of three points between first and second, all down to some key strategic playing of the Joker and cleaning up on the static table rounds.

A fantastic night replete with humour, music and laughter along with some devilish brain teasing questions. Thank you to all who came and we look forward to seeing you all again next month with the Westgate Quiz #4! 29th April 2019.
