Little Musicians are back with Brunch - Sunday 25 January

The Little Musicians/Petits Musiciens start the year on Sunday, 25 January, from 11 am to 12:30 pm, with Brunch from 11 am to 2 pm.
Sign up using this HelloAsso link. Don't forget that if a child is signed up for Breakfast/Brunch together with a parent, they have free access to the 1.5-hour class. If you don’t want to sign up for breakfast/brunch, it is €25 per child for the class. It is easier and cheaper if you reserve your place before Friday evening. Prices are more expensive at the bar on the day, and you risk the class being full.

Lost Property - collect this weekend

Members who have lost property are reminded come and collect any lost items from the baskets in the changing rooms and on the rack upstairs by this weekend. Any remaining items will be disposed of on Monday, 26 January.
