From Philippa McCray at the Federation of Family History Societies (www.ffhs.org.uk), in turn informed by Dr. Gill Draper of BALH:

PALAEOGRAPHY FOR FAMILY HISTORIANS

Family historians may be interested in one of the courses being run at this year's Latin and Palaeography Summer School at Keele University, now in its 35th year. It runs from Saturday 21 to Friday 27 July 2012.

Designed mainly for local historians who need to read documents before 1700 or so, there are beginners' and more advanced courses on medieval Latin and medieval palaeography, as well as one on reading probate documentsof 16th and 17th centuries.
