December and January booking update

Booking for sessions in December 2018 up to and including the first week in January 2019 will take place at your next session.

Please make sure that you have your schedule with you (including any school activities, concert performances, holidays etc.) to make sure that these bookings proceed smoothly, as I am aware that, due to Christmas, a lot of bookings may be made into unusual slots.

Sessions between Christmas and New Year

For the first time this year, due to popular demand, I will be running sessions between Christmas and New Year. These will take place on Thursday 27 December, and will be booked on a first-come-first-served basis.

To book a Christmas Session, please visit our Christmas Special Sessions page for more information and to book.
