 ==== Introduction to CBUS - weekend course ====
-**THIS COURSE IS NOW FULLY BOOKED**
+** 26th to 28th June 2021 (Rushden) **
+** (Postponed from March 2021 and again from May 2021) **
-** 28th to 30th March 2020 (Rushden)**
-By popular demand, we have arranged another weekend course for those who want to learn about CBUS.
+It became clear that we cannot have confidence that things will have become safe enough, with restrictions lifted sufficiently, to run this course on the 2021 dates we had originally hoped.
+So we have taken the difficult decision to reschedule it yet again to the date in late June as shown above. This is after the date when the government hopes to have lifted all restrictions, so we are all hoping we can run the course then.
+All bookings for postponed dates in 2020 and 2021 will be honoured for this one. If you already have such a booking, you will be contacted by email with latest updates.
 The course will take place in the “Goods Shed” meeting room at the Rushden Transport Museum & Railway, Rushden Station, Northamptonshire.
