Hello,
It’s very glad to know this website which is very useful for me.
This is Haejeong who is studying English now and planning to enter the university next year.
I am really interested in participating in your cookery classes and whisky tasting event. Would you pls let me know how to taking part in your events?
I’m looking forward to your advice.
Thanks and Regards.
Haejeong.
Hi Haejeong
The whisky tasting is for members of the Anglo Korean Society only. You can join the society via their website here: http://anglokoreansociety.org.uk/membership.htm.
If you contact Sylvia their social events secretary on the number shown here http://anglokoreansociety.org.uk/contact.htm and tell her you’re going to join, she might let you go to the event.
For the cookery classes, you need to contact Kiejo at the email address I give above.
Tomorrow there will be an article from one of the people who joined her most recent cookery class.
