These sessions are popular, but open to all to attend. To secure your spot for a particular session click “attending” against that session on the training sessions list. Membership cards are to be taken to these sessions, so that emergency contact details are to hand should something untoward happen (highly unlikely) and to initiate collection via direct debit of the session fee which is £4.
