2.     Terms

Some members want to have a break over the summer (July & August). Therefore, we have arranged terms as follows:

Payment must be paid monthly by cash, cheque or Direct Debit (it will go out on the first Monday every month). We are in the process to set up the Direct Debit. Until then, payment will be accepted by cash or cheque.

We have two membership options; standard membership & premium membership. If you are a standard member, you train only once a week. If you are a premium member, you can come as many classes as you want per week. However, you can only come one class per day. You can get a great value of money when becoming a premium member.

It is your responsibility and decision to bring your child to those workshops. Your decision will affect your child’s development and also grading.
