Good afternoon Woodford,

Following on from todays weather with wind set to continue throughout the night and tomorrow, and with many trees already down around us making access tricky, we are making the decision to cancel lessons tomorrow 08/12/2024 as roads are quite bad near us and don’t want everyone risking driving in.

We will rebook everyone for their next slot automatically if you can’t attend no problem just let us know.

Apologies for any inconvenience 🐴
