NEW College is helping people brush up on their language skills before they jet off on holiday this summer.

Holiday languages is just one of the recreational courses staring in Redditch and Bromsgrove.

Others include watercolour painting, local history walks, assertiveness and cooking with confidence, while Pilates, table tennis and make-up for special occasions are new for 2003.

For more details, pick up a brochure from the Advice Centre on the Redditch or Bromsgrove campus, or call 570020.
