Feedback:

Thank you, we very much enjoyed the beginners course, you were all very welcoming and helped us feel at ease. The facilities are very good, and letting us know that the building is cold in advance was good so that we came prepared wearing warm layers. Very good equipment, everything you need and very well organised. The coaches were all excellent, supportive, encouraging, patient and happy to give advice and direction, adapting to each persons individual needs. The format was very good, importance of warm up exercises, safety, the gradual introduction of each technique, good progression, learning something new each week. There was a lot to learn so encouraging exercise practice at home was good. Friendly, welcoming, excellent tuition.

Thank you all for the best time ever during the beginners course. All of the coaches were supportive and friendly and approachable with any concerns or problems. There was enough time each session to spend lots of time practice the techniques and lots of individual support when learning each new step. A great club with excellent facilities, an indoor and outdoor range, warm and welcoming. A well stocked kitchen area with tea, coffee and biscuits (even the occasional cake), toilet facilities and easy access with parking on site. I’m looking forward to continuing to develop and learn through the brilliant ongoing coaching available at the Next Steps sessions and finding time to practice in the amazing inside and outdoor ranges available to me as a member (when the weather improves).
