We require a consent form to be completed for every child attending our programmes.  A link can be found at the time of purchase in ticketing information and will also be sent via the confirmation email. (Please not: we only require one form per child, per calendar year) 

Waitlist

If a waitlist is available this will be noted in the information. Waitlist's have limited availability and are for the current programme only . e.g.  South Minecraft Club - 6-13 years in Term 1 = a customer on the waitlist, will be offered a place on this programme and term only, if a cancellation is received.
