Herne Bay – change to Saturday classes

Posted on: July 15th, 2020 by David Finch
HERNE BAY CLASSES – Saturdays
Due to numbers I have made a small tweak to the JUNIOR & ADULT timetable.
From this week (18th July) they will now run as follows:
  • Juniors: 9:45 – 10:30am
  • Adults: 10:45 – 11:30am
You do not need to alter your bookings if you have made them already.
REMEMBER: if your membership is for 2+ classes per week (not including Black Belt Club / Weapons) then you are allowed to book in to 2 classes per week (not on the same day).
The Wednesday timetable will remain as it is for now.
Regards
Master Finch
