Just a few places left on the holiday course at Cranbourne, mostly in middle and deep end groups.
A reminder to those who have booked - places will only be held when payment has been received. Cash or cheque (made payable to Basingstoke Bluefins) for £8 per child, must be sent to Sue Lambert, 79 Camrose Way, Basingstoke, RG21 3AW, to arrive before 9th August. Places will be offered to others if not paid for by the morning of 9th August.
Lesson fees from September 2010
Posted on 15 Jul 2010 at 23:38 by Sue Lambert (0 user comment)
Due to a rise in both pool hire and ASA Membership fees, it has been necessary to increase the cost of lessons at Cranbourne and QMC to £16 per month from Sept 10 - still very competitive with other lessons providers.
Individual letters, plus end of term reports and Newsletter have either been handed out at the pool or posted to home addresses. If yours doesn't arrive by the end of term - 23rd July - please contact Sue by email: sue.lambert@swimbluefins.org
