I have applied for a small holders weekend course in february was wondering if anyone has done anything similar ? Also going to do a year of agriculture next september if i can get the funding :)

Only individual courses. I went on a fruit tree pruning course at Brogdale, a bee keeping course (excellent move - my teacher is still on call for my every daft question, he's probably regretting letting me on) and a sheep keeping course (also excellent move in as much as it convinced me that I don't like sheep, they're stupid, they smell and they'll lose me a lot of money). Husband has just come back from a course on setting up vineyards at Plumpton College (now the sheep plan has been ditched, he has other plans!). Clearly I love courses - have fun!
