GDPR Compliance. 
I keep a record of all those who have been on any of the courses which I have been running over the last few years. These include your name, address, phone number(s) and email address. I also keep details of your emergency contact’s name and phone number and where given their home address.
In order to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), I now need your written consent to keep these details.
You now have to opt-in to the following:
Note 2:	It is often useful for Course Tutors and fellow students to have a contact number and/or an email address for you (e.g. for sharing transport arrangement purposes or in case the unexpected arises).  If you tick the privacy boxes, your contact details will be shared with your fellow students, otherwise they will only be passed to your course tutor.
Note 3:	I also keep what I call my ‘BCC’ list. This is used to keep you in touch with Frome Branch’s proposed programme as well as informing you which courses is coming soon or letting you know if there are any free places on the next course. 
Say if you wish to be informed of future courses.

For the Association Data Privacy Notice go to http://bath-wells.org/documents/dataprivacynotice.pdf

Note 4:	State whether you are a complete novice for your course choice.  
If you are already learning the topic covered, state what stage you are at e.g. plain courses/touches (as appropriate) and any help you wish for or anything you do not understand.
This will help your tutor plan your course.
