Taster session returns on 2 May
We return from our Easter shutdown on Thursday 2nd May, 2019 and will welcome a number of newcomers to replace Alex, Olly, Archie, Daniel and Finn who have moved up to the 9 – 11 year group.
We are confident that these guys will do well and wish them good luck in their new group.
We need your help!
