NO CLASS Tuesday 14th February 2012
Unfortunately there will be no class on Tuesday 14th February 2012.
Apparently there is a problem with the lights in there that needs sorting and the contractors will need to put scaffolding up to access them. Unfortunately the sports hall is booked so I am unable to offer other accommodation. Please can you arrange to train at another class that week: Monday at Beare Green, Thursday at Ashcombe School or Saturday at Dorking Sports Centre.

More details coming soon I am just awaiting final confirmation on Hall hire...

The largest bedroom has sixteen beds, and the smallest has four.
For breakfast and evening meals, the hostel has a medieval style dining room that comfortably seats fifty people.

Situated in the quiet village of St Briavels, the hostel overlooks the Wye Valley, and is located away from busy main roads. The main castle area is surrounded by the original castle walls, making St Briavels Castle extremely safe and secure.
