Unfortunately We are down to one instructor available again tonight between 6:30 and 7:30 which would normally mean we are unable to open. However as it is the last week of the term and the viewing of the film that the students have spent the term making I am reluctant to close!
Would there be any parents willing to stay for the first hour until a second instructor can join us enabling us to open this evening?
Thankyou in advance
the C3 team.
