​

In the unlikely event that I have to cancel a course an alternative arrangement will be made. In that case if a course participant wishes to transfer to an alternative course a charge of £15 will be made. If an alternative date cannot be found then the cancellation policy will apply.

​

If a face to face course is cancelled due to things beyond our control such as Covid-19 loclockdown, adverse weather conditions or other unknowns, the course will go ahead online via Zoom either on the same date as planned or an alternative date. 

​

If you need to self isolate due to Covid-19, I can stream the face to face course to you via zoom. 

​

Covid Safety measures during face to face courses

I will be taking a lateral flow test on the morning before we meet to ensure I am not carrying covid, I ask you all to do the same please. If you feel unwell please do not join. Let me know and I will zoom you into our group. 

 

Hand sanitizer will be available and windows open. I of course want people to feel safe and comfortable, so in terms of masks, please arrive in a mask and wear them whilst walking around the space. Once you are sat down it's then up to you if you would like to keep them on or have them off. We will also wear them for some of the activities where we move around a bit more.
