I wish there was more choice. I live in Kings Lynn and all my tutorials as either Cambridge or Norwich, which are real pains to get to, however dispite being in the Kings Lynn catchment area, there has never once been a group here. So it's not the biggest town in the country, I just wish I didn't have to travel so far to get to them.
Does this happen to anyone else?
Hi Emma
I've had this problem - I live in Wisbech and for two of my courses my tutorials were in Ipswich or Norwich at 10am on a Saturday - that's a long drive after a full week of work, and no possibility of parking at the venue when I get to a city I don't know well! This last year it was Cambridge so I could get the train to avoid the parking issue but it was still a very early start - and on that course loads of people were coming from Norwich to attend in Cambridge! I realise the tutorials have to cater to a lot of people over a large region but it can make them very hard to attend - I'm just finishing my fifth year with the OU and have attended a total of two tutorials (both this last year!)
