Session Details: "This is an open session, and all are welcome; one race, the human race! I encourage good work and behaviour, whether we are working on theory, putting it in to practice or training for competitions. Players can learn, develop and increase their skills at a pace suitable to them. I try and keep it light - telling jokes, and playing games as part of the warm-down in recognition of the effort they have put in - so they are encouraged not discouraged . It is a tough sport, so expect a few bumps and knocks. Try it, and if you like it join the club. Whatever happens, though you come in a stranger, we hope you leave a friend."
