Club Clinic Live Schedule 2022/23

Thursday evenings 8pm  (London time)

When things go wrong I am delighted. Why?  because it give you the opportunity to learn something. 

Clinic sessions are open for submission to members. Please note that sessions are recorded, for students who are on different time zones to watch later in the week. 

Please

Please note that this session is NOT for user problems.  

I will not be answering any questions about using the website. If you have a login issue, then you will need to either email [email protected] or book in to the user guidance session with the team.  Please refer to the live session schedule. 

If you have a small query, then put it on the Forum and we will answer it there.

Please note that the Clinics follow an Oxbridge term timetable, and so do not run every week.

If you are a beginner, then you need to understand that the Clinic subjects are not always for beginners. It can be overwhelming to find a session with a more advanced baker, and a discussion the finer details of how to cultivate which bacteria to get a specific crumb structure, so relax, enjoy the session and know that with time you will also be asking and understanding more complex issues. 

It is for all Club members (over 2,000) and my members are at all levels. The Clinic is the opportunity to ask questions, and if you do not understand then you will just have to listen in and enjoy learning. You can ask questions at your own level about that week’s topic ONLY, or simply come back when you have been baking for a few weeks.
