Here at BLC we are enjoying the last few weeks of summer. This weekend’s social programme included the wonderful and colourful Bristol Balloon fiesta (http://www.bristolfiesta.co.uk/content.php?pid=18) and a coach trip to London.

I think that everyone agrees that the highlight of the summer so far had to be BLC’s First International Party, a night of music and dancing for all our adult students, which took place at Timbuk2 last Thursday. The night was a particular success for our students from France and Jordan, who between them managed to win the competitions for the best i-pod DJ, best dressed student and best dancer. You can see photos of the event and judge Pierre’s outrageous outfit for yourself on our facebook wall http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1433804630&ref=profile#

On Friday we waved good bye to our juniors group from China. As well as English language lessons every morning, juniors students enjoy a complete package of social and cultural activities. In just one week they managed to see the Clifton suspension bridge, Blaise Castle, Bath, Stonehenge, take a ferry trip around the harbour, play Lazer Quest and visit London! They even had the time and energy for a leaving party with all the other international juniors on Friday afternoon!

I would like to thank all our students from all over the world for making this summer so special, and hope that you have enjoyed it as much as we have. We are already planning for the new Autumn courses and student intake, but it’s not too late to come and join us for the last few weeks of August. If not, we hope you will be able to join one of our Autumn academic programmes, or make it over to BLC for next summer. We look forward to seeing you then!

With best wishes
