NOTE: – This year there are no club shutdowns except for Christmas as the classes will be run
by assistant Instructors when Mr Churchward is away. The club may be closed on Bank
Holidays, there may also be additional dates throughout the year when we might need to
close if the cover is not available to allow Mr Churchward to attend essential ITF Instructor
training, officiate and/or coach at competitions to enable students to participate.
Wherever possible we will of course look to cover these times with other instructors and
assistants.
Please note that participation at the highlighted competitions will be dependent on the
club supplying officials/ umpires of the correct ratio for competitors wishing to enter. For
those who like to plan for these events please bear that in mind if you are booking
accommodation etc. We will not be entering events where we cannot supply officials/
umpires.
