Spider Club Bookings

2010-03-08T00:40:00.000-08:00

Thanks to the many parents who do book in to the Spider Club sessions. However it is very difficult to staff the sessions properly unless I am given enough notice of your attendance. It is better to book in and not attend than not to book in and then attend. I do not want to get to the stage where I am having to turn people away for safety reasons so PLEASE book by Friday so that I can contact the requisite number of instructors. Mark
