NOTES: 
 
The venue listed above is to be used for many of our courses/seminars unless stated in a specific event entry (This may be subject to change and confirmation). 
 
It has also been agreed that to start the courses on time and get the most out of each session is for members to arrive ready to book in from 11:45am onwards. We will be booking people in and signing licences from that time onward either inside the door of the venue or upstairs on the balcony (TBC). If we can achieve this, then a prompt 12:00 noon start will ensure a small comfort break is worked into the course by Denis Casey Sensei (his discretion based on eventual start time). 
 
It’s up to you now to arrive early. Many Thanks.
