I will be asking you all to sign a sheet when you attend each session to ensure we have the correct numbers; it is vitally important that you only attend if booked ...in. Should you miss out one week, please go on our waiting list as a cancellation will automatically enrol the first person on the list. That person will then receive an invite via their email and will simply need to accept that invite. Should you still miss out on a session after registering your details on the waitlist, we will email you to see whether you would like us to pre-enrol you prior to the next session being released, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to attend at least one session a fortnight. I apologise for any inconvenience this will cause but the health of all of our families is of the utmost importance, as I am sure you would all understand.
