I will also hopefully attend, but thought I would try the first class at 9.30? Have been attending the first one n Fridays nd really enjoy Zumba!
Karen C
can't make the Friday one so I was really pleased to see a Wed one starting, the 9:30 is too early for me but the 10:35 is ok and I don't think there is much difference between the classes work wise.

We recently contacted the Ipswich Furniture project and after arranging a convenient time they came with a van and took our king size mattress away. They're happy to take anything and it was an excellent service.
