What happens if it rains?
Sadly we live in England! If we stopped for the rain we’d never get anything done.Most of the time it doesn't rain for the whole course! if it makes sense, we will do theory inside while it's raining! But sometimes we just have to put our jackets on and head outside!
What Happends it it's roo windy for my course to go ahead?
If we deem it too windy for your course to go ahead we will give you the option to transfer to anther date or offer you a full refund. It is however rare that we cannot complete the course due to high winds.
We will not cancel youth courses due to high winds, there is lots of fun learning we can do inside the clubhouse!
