As explained in class you have no cover until your form and payment reach the insurers. Hence these need to be renewed about 4 weeks in advance in a batched lot.
Instructors
The instructor's class this month will be on the 28th at 10am. There will be a review of advanced techniques to improve your personal skills. New stretches.
BUDDY DAYS
This month the buddy days will be on Saturday 20th of this month at the Farnborough & Woking schools. Tuesday 16th at the Chessington.
You will need to get a buddy day card for your friend. They will need to complete the top section and bring it along with them. Remember that it is only one friend per person, as you will be teaching them. They will need to wear loose fitting sports clothing, also bring some water and something warm to put over themselves after class. If they are under 18 they will need a parent or guardian with them or one of your parents present for the class. They can try one or two classes as they wish, at the end of which we will need them to complete their buddy day card and hand them in.
