Great news everyone we are back training face to face from Monday 3rd August. ![]()
All classes will be on at St Margaret’s community centre (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday – times as per normal). ![]()
The class numbers are limited, therefore we will have a strict pre-booking system. ![]()
I will work on the details tonight and will issue them tomorrow.
Hi All, Guidelines for coming back to face to face classes next week have been circulated via email to all club members, if you did not get it please let me know.![]()
![]()
Classes can be pre-booked up to one week in advance. Pre-Booking for 3rd, 4th, 6th and 7th August can be taken from 12pm on Thursday 30th July. Booking can be achieved by contacting me via text or email, please await positive confirmation that the place is secured. If the day you want to book is full you can either take another available day that week or receive priority for the same day the week later. I will do my utmost to ensure that everyone gets the opportunity to train therefore I am limiting people to only one face to face training session for the first week. As places are limited if a student is booked in and does not turn up I expect the session to be paid for. ![]()
![]()
Please remember that the virtual classes will also remain in place for the moment to ensure that all students have the ability to train at least twice per week and to support those in the vulnerable category or our remote guests.
Congratulations to Hanna Holda, Dawid Holda and Simon Fryer after passing their gradings tonight, well done 👊
