President’s Report
Happy New Year to all members! Welcome back to returning members and a very warm welcome to all our new members. I do hope that you had an enjoyable break and are ready and eager to commence classes for 2026, which began on Monday 2 February.
From the Course Admin team
The 2026 year has commenced. Have there been a few challenges? Yes! But the enthusiasm that you have all brought with you in attending classes makes it all worthwhile.
We are still working with our Class Leaders to try to make sure you will all be placed in at least one class of your choice.
If you are looking to enrol in another class, check if the class is still taking enrolments or is closed. Some classes have been closed due to the waitlist being so large that you would never be accepted into the class in 2026.
