JUST A FEW SPACES LEFT...............
Everyone who has signed up, including all the single followers, should now have received an offer of a place. If you have not, please email Jean asap. We still have some places, particularly in the Improver/Intermediate Level, so if you know of anyone who might want to come, please encourage them to get in touch with Jean.
TRANSPORTATION & LIFT REQUESTSPlease help if you can
We've had number of requests for lifts to and from venues, but it is proving tricky and impractical for us to organize as we do not know where everyone is staying. If you need a lift (and have not had one sorted by us), please post on the TVBF Facebook Page (where we've started a thread).
We need more people to offer lifts, so if you could help out, we will be very grateful. So if you can offer a lift, please post on the Facebook page too, then hopefully you'll be able to link up with those that need them.

CLASS LEVELS
We will be writing to all attendees over the next few days confirming their level, so please look out for the email. Any problems, get in touch asap.

Here is the provisional Event Timetable for our TVBF Weekend. It is unlikely that it will change very much if at all between now and the event but will we be posting a Final Timetable a little nearer the event. The Henley Rugby Club is about 10/15 minutes walk from both the Henley Town Hall and the Henley Youth Centre and the Town Centre and Youth Centre are less than 5 minutes walk from one another. There is free parking at the Rugby Club and metered parking near the Town Hall and the Youth Centre.
