Small Sailor Sessions 2013

 

Who are Small Sailor Sessions for? 

Anyone 3-7 years old can do Small Sailor Sessions. You do not need to be a member to take part.

When do the Small Sailor Sessions take place? 

During the school holidays (Mon – Wed lunchtimes) 12.30-1.30pm

These sessions are VERY WEATHER DEPENDENT! i.e. parents and guardians – be prepared that your child might not get to go out if the conditions don’t allow. Prepare your child for the possible disappointment. A trip to the rocky shore to look for crabs or star fish is a nice alternative. Also this season there will be a short break mid-season due to the World Police and Fire Games.

How much do Small Sailor Sessions Cost?

members £85 non-members £110 5 sessions
