Workshop Passport - YES WE WILL!


I have been planning the new workshops for next term, and was feeling that the Workshop passport had run its course as we did not have so many participants this term. However there has been such an out cry and numerous people have requested it that i have decided to give it another go.

In December 2009 we shall be issuing 'Workshop Passports', these will be available for £60 they are your passport to as many workshops as you like (up to a maximum of 20) during the period 1st January - 30th April 2010.
What this means is that if you wanted to you could attend 20 classes for just £60, How great is that!?
Holding our Workshop Passport also entitles you to 10% discount off any of our other classes and clubs during that period also, just make sure you have your passport with you when you pay.
There are a few conditions to the passport
1. It is not transferrable
2. You must book your workshop at least 2 weeks in advance (we reserve the right to cancel a class if there are too few people - less than 5)
3. If you book a workshop and do not attend for any reason (cancellation accepted up to 14 days before workshop) you must pay the full fee of the workshop as you may have prevented others from attending
4. Workshops are booked on a strictly first come first served basis.
So how will this work in practice?
Once you have purchased your passport you may book your workshop up to 2 weeks before the class, you book your workshop and either pay in cash or give your card details (we are no longer accepting cheques for passport insurance), we will not charge you for the class providing you turn up, if you pay in cash on presentation at the class the money will be returned to you. We will charge anyone who books a workshop and then cancels or does not turn up, we have to do this as it may have prevented another person from attending the class.
You only need to attend a couple of workshops to have covered the cost of the passport, after that every workshop you attend is FREE!

We are open, and the shop looks great. It has been a lot of hard work and it would not have happened without the support and help from a lot of people. It has paid off though, you can see all the fabrics, there is space to move around.

Please come and see us in the new Threads and Patches! our 'Grand official Opening' will be Saturday 18th July but we are there every day in between (except Sundays!)

See you soon!
