Changes to classes and fees for 2025 - UPDATE
I have updated the membership subscriptions with some new options. I’ve added 3 levels of membership, Dedicated (12 months), Committed (6 months), and Scholar (school term) for greater options depending on the duration of commitment. Within these levels there are three adoptions, 2 include subscription to online resources I am launching, Class Diary and Body of Knowledge (BoK), more on those another time. For those in Tai Chi Beginners, your rates are in brackets with an asterisk (*).
For 12 month and 6 month members, classes will be scheduled every week from the 13 January 2025 - 13 December 2025 inclusive (at the nominated times you are familiar with on Mondays and Saturdays), this now includes all school holidays and public holidays; please read below about leave or days off.
For School Term members, Term 1 classes resume 03 February 2025 - 05 April 2025, 9 weeks.

All memberships maybe paid upfront or by direct debit. All direct debits will be calculated effective the 1st of January through 31 December inclusive.
Dates of the first direct debit can be nominated by the client, however the date must occur within the first payment cycle beginning on the 1st January.
All direct debits will be subject to the following fees determined by the service provider: as of the 11 November 2024. Direct debit fees will be on-charged to you as follows:

Dedicated students will be permitted to pause their payments for up to 4 weeks worth of payments per 12 month cycle to allow for leave from training. Committed students will be permitted to pause their payments for up to 2 weeks worth of payments per 6 month cycle to allow for leave from training.
The Dedicated and Committed membership fees include the cancellation of up to 8 weeks of classes per year for instructor leave (i.e. 8 Mondays and 8 Saturdays, this may not be Mondays and Saturdays adjacent to each other). I will provide at least 4 weeks notice of cancellation of classes for the purpose of my leave.

Thanks everyone
Just want to thank Sempai Jason, Sempai Ian, and Ruwan san for taking classes today whilst I looked after my family who are unwell. I have been told the classes went well and conducted professionally. The team stepping up allowed me to prepare Sharon and Chelsea for a week of isolation, buy some groceries and prepare some meals for the week ahead.
Food ahead include:
Chicken, leak, and sweet potato risotto
Beef and Guiness pie
Chicken noodle soup
Chickpea Salad
Baked chicken and peaches.
I would also like to thank all students and parents for supporting them, helping them make the days training a productive one.
