SUNDAY UPDATE
Good afternoon all,
I hope your bank holiday is going well so far. Please find details of forthcoming events
Please could all members be aware of the following:-
- If you book for an event and cannot attend, please let me know asap – do not wait until I contact you and inform you that you have a space. This is unfair on those who I have informed that they can’t attend and creates extra work for me.
- If you have not been able to attend an event, please let me know when you are booking for a future activity. I will make you a priority (though I cannot guarantee you a space, I will do all that I can to ensure you don’t miss out twice).
- Requests for a space will be taken up to 72 hours once an activity has been advertised. This will help me manage the event lists and confirm with everyone if they have been allocated a ticket or not.
Please email me for any further information.
You can leave me a message on Whatsapp.
My Mobile number is 07759 646507

And Finally…
If you need to contact me, please contact me only on this mobile number 07759 646507.
Please do not visit me at Dragon Hall. I work at different venues throughout the week and I might not be there.
It is essential that all events/workshops or classes are booked in advance. Dragon Hall is still following social distancing guidelines and most sessions are now fully booked. If you would like to attend an event, please ALWAYS contact me beforehand.
Please note that all payments for classes are paid online via our website. If you have any difficulty with this, I am happy to assist. But again, this must be done beforehand and booked with me.
Thank you for your support and cooperation.
