We will be taking our annual break during the following week:
9th – 15th August (incl.)
This is to ensure the team are fully rested and re-charged, ready to go again and push you all towards your next goal when we return. You have all worked so hard this year, especially given the challenges we have all faced and deserve a good rest (mentally and physically).
Due to the larger hall being used for blood donations all classes will be in the smaller CARMEN HALL (same times).
Look out for our flag and noticeboard.
See you soon.
