Bigger and Better

As of next week KBC classes will be changing days and location.

The group has outgrown the Whitchurch Parish Hall so we have relocated to Testbourne Community School. The class will now be on every Thursday from 7 - 8pm. The new site will be a great move for the club as we will have the room to expand and welcome new members.

A map to the new site can be found here - Map

See you all next Thursday.
