   N.B. These courses are FREE to those who attend. A deposit of £20 per person is required. This is returned when the course has been attended. This has been necessary to ensure commitment and that other people do not loose out on the opportunity. We ask that 2 week's notice be given if people are unable to attend - that way we at least have a fair chance of offering the place to somebody else. Thank you.
