July Forum: Estate planning
A bit chilly!
Thank you for your understanding if your class is held in Studios 1 or 2 and you have been dealing with cold air blowing into the room over the past couple of weeks. Please know that we have flagged your concerns with Hub Management and they are doing their best to rectify this issue. Deciding that it might be warmer outside than in, one of our Tai Chi classes decided to take their class outside onto the lawn. A fresh way to enjoy this gentle exercise!
