This session is only available on line. You will need to connect using GoToMeeting starting at 10.15am. A link will be sent to you.

You need to pay in advance via Eventbrite or using one of the methods detailed under "Training" on the Society web site. If you do the latter, please reserve your place by using the "I have paid already" ticket.

Special offer: If you book any four or more WPS classes running before 16th November 2020 (but not including the free event on Oct 4th), you get one of the classes free. Make sure that you still reserve your place on the free one using the "I have paid already" ticket for the free class. If you book any seven WPS classes running before 16th November 2020, you get two classes free. Places do not all need to be booked at the same time; the total number you have booked qualifies for the offer. Should any classes be cancelled, they no longer count towards a free offer. All other classes booked need to be paid for normally.

You will probably wish to pay for multiple classes by means of a single payment, in which case use one of the methods detailed under "Training" on the Society web site to pay. Make sure that you still reserve your places on all the classes by booking a place on each using the "I have paid already" tickets for each class. Check that places are available on all the classes you wish to attend before paying for several at once.

This is an interactive class, and the total number of students is limited to 10. However, additional family or friends may join each on-line WPS member to watch his or her screen (but please only ask questions yourself, about your own camera). They may not join in a separate GoToMeeting session, and students should not share the log-in details with others.

Classes may be recorded and offered to other WPS members for a small fee.

At the discretion of the training coordinator, if you do not attend a class you book, you may be offered a recording of it (if available), and may also be offered a course credit.
