 ==== Introduction to CBUS - weekend course ====
-** 26th to 28th June 2021 (Rushden) **
-** (Postponed from March 2021 and again from May 2021) **
+See the [[public:courses#possible_courses_for_2023|list of possible courses for 2023]], and if you are interested in this or another course for 2023, please let us know.
+Watch this space for when the next course is scheduled, but note that we will **only** run this course in 2023 if we receive sufficient expressions of interest.
-This course will now finally run on this date.
-This date would have been after the original date for the lifting of Covid restrictions, but as you will no doubt be aware, the full relaxation of restrictions has been deferred until July.
-We have studied the regulations closely, and discussed this with the venue. We can go ahead with this course under the current regulations, provided we comply with all the Covid requirements.
-There is a specific exemption from the "rule of 6" for meeting indoors, which applies to training.
-We will fully comply with the various Covid rules, including seating 2m apart, wearing a mask when moving around indoors, keeping windows open for ventilation and following the track and trace requirements, with the NHS track and trace barcode available for scanning. We will limit attendees to 6 to allow sufficient distancing. Further, the vast majority, if not all, of those attending, including the tutors, have had both vaccinations.
-Those who have bookings on this course can either attend on this date, or you can defer to when we run the course again later if you prefer.
-The course will take place in the “Goods Shed” meeting room at the Rushden Transport Museum & Railway, Rushden Station, Northamptonshire.
 For those just starting out in CBUS, this weekend course will take you from first principles through building CBUS kits to setting up CBUS operations.

 The course will start with arrivals from 4pm on Friday evening and then takes place over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday).

You can work on whatever you wish, with assistance from the tutors, such as building and setting up CBUS modules, or revisiting certain course subjects.
