We will again be subsidising training for members this winter 2009/2010 so group lessons should be £10 (or £15 where there are less than four in the group)

Findon training is open to all members, regardless of age and experience.  Training is also open to non-members (if they carry their own insurance cover) but Findon members always have priority and get the subsidised rate.  However, if spaces are available then non-members will be welcome too.  Anyone who is unable to attend a booked training session will not be liable to pay the fee if they have cancelled by 12 noon on the day preceding training.  If cancellation is after 12 noon (or you just don’t turn up) then the relevant fee will still have to be paid, unless there is someone on the waiting list who can fill the space at short notice, or another replacement can be found. 

* It is the responsibility of the person who has cancelled their training session to arrange their own replacement.

Anyone who fails to pay training fees will be unable to participate in further Findon activities until we have received payment in full.  *
