This allows for up to 3 lessons per year that may be cancelled for unforeseen circumstances. Members with cancellations exceeding 3wks will be contacted and refunded appropriately

8. Payments for lessons are spread equally across the year and are based on members being enrolled for 12 months. To illustrate; each lesson is £6.95, and customers are required to pay for 45 each year (£312), this is then split equally into 12 monthly payments resulting in a monthly direct debit of £26
