‼️IMPORTANT class info for you: ‼️
As most of you know my two main halls are closing for refurb, this is obviously very worrying, and unsettling. I have been contacting many halls, as close to the current venue as possible. Changes as follows:
Upton Hill Centre will close on Friday 25 September, therefore KONGA on Saturday 26th September will be at Ripple Village Hall 9.30am (GL20 6EU), and every Saturday thereafter. Tuesday's have been a struggle for me to find alternative halls, therefore as of Monday 28 September Zumba will be held at Longdon Village Hall 6.15pm (GL20 6AZ), and every Monday thereafter. The new venues are close to Upton, they have parking, they are nice halls with doors and windows to open. However, they are smaller venues, so it will feel a little strange until we are used to it.
The Hill Centre (Upton) have informed me that we can go back once the work is complete, lets hope so. I will keep you updated with any info i receive, I do know that it will be closed for months.
Ashchurch Village Hall are anticipating closure end of October, but I don't have confirmation of this, so it could be later than October. They advise that they will keep me updated, and give notice. They anticipate closure for approx 7 weeks (I pray no longer). I am currently looking at other venues for Thursday and Friday mornings, I know that the location won't suit everyone, but I am trying my best. Monday mornings class will temporarily move to the Northway Hub (GL20 8QG) as of Monday 5th October 9.30am. I had to move this Monday class before the closure date because if i don't take this slot now, someone else will take it. I am making enquiries with halls in Tewkesbury town, Dumbleton, and a few others, but parking is a concern with some venues.
This is alot of information to take in, and confusing to be honest. If you have any questions please ask. A positive note is that when we return the halls will be updated, and very nice.
Another polite message for Pilates - PLEASE give me a weeks notice if you are unable to attend the following weeks class. I have so many enquiries, and often turn people away thinking that I am full. For example, Tuesday last week I received 7 messages of last minute cancellations in one day, it's really hard to manage guys
see you soon ###
