-** 29th to 31st May 2021 (Rushden) **
-** (Postponed from 27th to 29th March 2021) **
-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 March 2021 date we had originally hoped.
+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.
-So we have taken the difficult decision to reschedule it yet again to the date in late May as shown above.
+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 date replaces that originally scheduled for March 2020, and all bookings for that course 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.
 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 takes place over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) with an optional extra workshop day on the Monday, to apply what was learnt over the weekend. The course will start with arrivals from 4pm on Friday evening.
