Dear Parents,
In the next few days we will be sending home notes with your child to advise IF your child will be upgrading to a higher age/ ability category before term 2 ends. This is to ensure if your child has been upgraded you are aware as early as possible so you are able to make alternative arrangements should your child need to move class category / age / day or time. This is also to ensure you can still adhere to the below dates for booking as per recommendations on the note as if you had to wait for the certificates you would have missed priority booking dates.
PLEASE NOTE IF THE UPGRADE IS DUE TO AGE YOU MUST MOVE UP TO THE NEXT AGE LEVEL EVEN IF IT MEANS CHANGING DAY/TIME. HOWEVER IF THE UPGRADE IS DUE TO ABILITY THE MOVE IS OPTIONAL. WE WILL INSIST THE MOVE FOR OUR SEPTEMBER TERM.
Please see details below on the specific booking dates and deadlines for booking for our next term. It is very important you adhere to these dates and deadlines to ensure all members have a fair opportunity to reserve their place. Please follow the recommendations on the note your child will be given. Of course if you miss the deadline you must also appreciate that it is only fair that we give other members a fair opportunity to book the place.
*IF FOR ANY REASON YOU MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BOOK AND YOU ARE LEFT WITHOUT OUT A CLASS OPTION PLEASE CONTACT GERALDINE @ RECEPTION AND WE WILL SO OUR VERY BEST TO ACCOMMODATE YOU.
REFERRAL REWARD SCHEME:
EGC values it’s members and would like to give back. We have put a referral scheme in place. Any existing member that recommends our club to another family and that family sign their child up to term 3, will recieve a €5 discount.

It is your responsibility to ensure you book your child’s class.

If the place is no longer available online contacting us wont change that as all places will be booked on a 1st come 1st served basis.
