After two stop-start years, it is great to have had an uninterrupted Term 1, where almost all classes operated face-to-face at the Hub and our off-site classes also had a clear run.

We have a number of new classes starting in Term 2 and members who have not yet paid their membership fees should do so as soon as possible.
