SPRING HOLIDAY CLOSEDOWN

I will be taking a short holiday from 20th April to 2nd May 2026, so there will be no training sessions at the Hillbourne club on Tuesday 21st & Tuesday 28th April.

Also, no training at the Blandford club on

Thursday 23rd & Thursday 30th April.

Training resumes at both clubs from Tuesday 5th May.

Lessons are open to all students, Male and Female, regardless of abilty or experience. The only restriction is a lower age limit of 6 years of age. There is no upper age limit, although I would encourage all adults to consult with your GP before joining, just to ensure that you are fit and well enough for the sessions.
