FEES AND NOT RETURNING

Summer holiday booking forms have been emailed out, please complete and return ASAP to book your space. Spaces are on a first come first served basis. So far I have only received 6!!!!!

FEES AND NOT RETURNING

Fees are due so please pay promptly. If you will not be returning in September please can you let Sarah know by the end of the Summer term or if you would like to change days and times.
If you do not let me know and then do not return, it costs the club money as not only do we have a long waiting list but we leave the space open for you, and do not get the fees for that space and we then spend time re arranging the groups, and contacting people on the waiting list.
