Training groups update

Club News
From Tuesday we’ll be moving back to 6 groups with the re-introduction of our 33+ group. The groups will be as follows: Sub 20 20-25 25-27 27-30 30-33 33+ As always group availability is reliant on coaches availability and us meeting the minimum numbers. For anyone interested the minimum is 2 plus coach and maximum is 12 plus coach. We will continue to monitor the groups and make decisions about them accordingly. As you’ll be aware we made the decision to reduce the number of groups over the summer due to lower member attendance levels and us having a reduction in the number of coaches available (for very valid reasons). Thanks for your support and understanding over the summer, hopefully lots of you enjoyed our all-inclusive session and our track…
