Final starting dates + beginner workshop

Dear All,

We are afraid Darwin College Common Room will not be available for next Monday. We will therefore resume capoeira trainings next Wednesday 19th at Romsey Mill.

Beginners who want to attend the beginner workshop have to attend both days of the workshop i.e. Wed 19th (Romsey Mill Centre 6.30-8.30pm) and Mon 24th (Darwin College 7-9pm)

Ate proxima semana!

Capoeira Workshop - Change days and venue

Dear All,

Sorry for the late posting

Due to the low number of early registrations we are afraid we need to change the date and venue of the beginners workshop.

The workshop will take place next Wednesdays 24th Nov and 1st Dec from 6.30 to 8.30 at the Romsey Mill Centre (see map in the web below). We will divide the space in 2 so the beginner workshop will happen at the same time as the normal training. 

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
