Once again, Debbie Jones will be training our members on Tuesday evenings at Smallwood Livery Centre, Smallwood, (home of the National Novice Championship), on their newly re-surfaced arena. Following the success of the winter training we have booked Debbie due to popular demand. Due to the popularity of the training we are asking members to select 4 of the 7 sessions, that way hopefully more members will be able to take part. You can ask for your name to be put on a waiting list for the other dates, however this request MUST be accompanied by a cheque for the relevant rally, (cheques may be post dated). If not successful, the cheque will be shredded and you will be informed. The lessons will be in groups of 3 for 45 minutes at a cost of £16 per person, 6-9pm. Dress code as for a working rally.

Rally times will be displayed on the branch website, or you can call Gail on 01565 880001.
