Class Updates

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.

Recent Club News

New Wednesday class!
More details coming soon I am just awaiting final confirmation on Hall hire...
