Programme 2025

BROWNSWORD HALL, POUNDBURY

CHANGE OF TIMES AT BROWNSWORD HALL!

 From January 2025, we have secured an extra half hour at the hall. Classes will now finish at 4.30pm which will make for a more relaxed session. Doors open at 1.30 so that sessions can start promptly at 1.45pm as usual, but now end at 4.30 pm.  This includes setting-up and clearing-away time.

note: BMOYC - Bring Materials Of Your Choice
