The small print

• Courses will run as long as there are four participants signed up for the full course.
• Priority will be given to those booking the full course. If there are still places available on a course you can still attend on a drop-in basis.
• Fees are non- refundable however if an individual’s place can be filled by someone on the waiting list or a replacement booking is taken credit will be given against future coaching/membership activities.
• Non-members may visit the club 3 times before joining but there may be restrictions on when a non-member booking can be made. (Note – This restriction does not apply to those attending beginners’ sessions). Sessions open to non-members show a non-member fee.

Where a player has been injured or ill for a continuous period of more than three weeks, credit may be given for  sessions missed from the fourth week onwards.
