How it works:
- Places do free up. They come from programme planning, cancellations and entries made in the wrong class. Our office works through these.
- Free and not binding. Joining is free, and you only pay if we offer you a spot.
- Up to 3 events. Tick the events, levels and age class you want to wait for.
- We contact you. When a place opens, our office emails offers in waitlist order. Each offer is valid for a limited time.
- No place is held for you. Being on the waitlist does not reserve a spot.
