The club is holding its annual party/presentation evening at Dunstablians Rugby Club on Friday 4th July 2008.  If it’s your first year with the club, this is an event you don’t want to miss, if you’re a long-standing member - you already know that.  This is your chance to see us, your instructors, making complete monkeys of ourselves on the dance floor.  Stay tuned for news on ticket prices and times etc.

Unfortunately, last week the club could not open due to myself being stuck at work and Ken being laid up with an injured back.  Unfortunately this all happened at about 16:00 on Thursday evening, so our apologies for the lack of notice.

It will be on tonight though.  Hope to see you there.

Well, those of you who have been here before may notice the changes.  Unfortunately I managed to accidentally break the website and lost most of the data.  I’m currently in a rebuilding process, so it may take a week or two to get things back up and running.  My apologies.
