Coronavirus training update

 

In order to keep our members safe we have decided to suspend training this week. We will review the suspension on a weekly basis, but we expect this suspension to last several months until the summer.

 

If you pay by standing order please suspend payment for April onwards. We will sort out a partial refund for the March payment when we resume training.

 

We will keep you posted with training updates on both the web site and Facebook page. Stephen and Rick will post home training tips on Facebook so you can keep practicing at home.

 

I hope you get through this troubling time unscathed and can resume training in good spirit sometime in the summer.

 

On behalf of the instructors
