Whats App group
There is a Whats app group open to all previous students and those currently attending classes. The purpose of this is that if you can’t make a weekly session you can sell it to someone who can’t attend regularly. Please contact Suzy if you wish to be added to the group in order to pick up the occasional class if you can’t attend regularly.
