Directors Course

We have some amazing directors at SLBC but unfortunately to ensure all the sessions can be covered comfortably allowing for holidays etc, the club is in need of some new directors. With this in mind, we will be running a directors course at the club later in the year. If you are interested in attending the course and then directing some sessions, please email Lesley at lesleybuckley29@yahoo.co.uk for the committee to consider.

 

Finally,

POINT OF RULE

Results - if you discover a result is incorrect you will be able to ask the director to change it during the session but if the session has already ended the results will not be changed so please do not ask.

 

Sitting pairs - as there are more and more members requesting that they remain seated, it is becoming increasingly difficult to accommodate everyone. Your director will do his best but sitting pairs will be at the discretion of the director.
