***INSTRUCTOR NEWS***
Lorraine Schofield Sensei and Catherine Johnson Sensei have both taken the difficult decision to step down from their roles as Class Instructors. We would like to say a huge thank you to both ladies for all of their passion, dedication and commitment they have both shown to our Club. You have both been superb Instructors to your students and wonderful to work alongside.It is always sad to be losing Instructors especially for the students whose lives they have been such a big part of. However, both ladies plan to continue to train in the Club so you will still see them from time to time. This affects quite a few classes and we are committed to finding suitable replacement Instructors so that you may continue to train and develop so watch this space! For now, if you were training with Lorraine Sensei on ZOOM, please help yourself to any other link on the day you usually train and you will be made most welcome!
