Payment must be made at the time of registration to a coaching course and before any attendance. Registration must be made using clubspark.
Group sessions will run in almost all weather conditions. If a session is to be cancelled then the coach will message the group. On even rarer occasions a decision will have to be made at the start of a session and this would be based on the individual nature of the group.
Autumn Term 2024 Programme - Is open and available to book. Our adult intermediate peak hour classes are member only courses. Please click on the actual courses to find out more details on who the courses might be suitable for.
Coaching starts on Monday 2 Sept. Coaching will not run for half term from Monday 28 Oct to Sunday 3 Nov. Last day of coaching is Sunday 15 Dec. Courses can be joined at any time in the term as long as there are spaces and payment is only taken for the lessons left in the term.
Coaching fees for the Autumn Term will be increasing by £1 per session as in the Summer. However if you sign up from the start of the course you will only pay the old price, after that the increase will come into play.
Please note - any refunds for individual sessions due to coach absence will be issued at the end of term.
