ST MARTIN'S College, in Ambleside, is seeking host families to accommodate visiting teachers from Hong Kong for four weeks next June and July.

Following the success of this year's English course for teachers, run with the Hong Kong Institute of Education, St Martin's hopes to welcome 14 participants for a similar course in 2001.

Hosts must live within walking distance of the Ambleside campus, and be prepared to provide bed and breakfast and the occasional evening meal.

A fee will be payable to any household providing the right environment for the guests.
