CANCELLED – Christmas Holiday 2020 sessions

by New SessionsNotices
Hi everyone,

With a heavy heart, and after carefully checking the Government guidance, we sadly will need to cancel our lovely Christmas sessions for today and tomorrow.  As much as we would have loved to end the year meeting up together it would not be in the spirit of the guidance that tells us not to meet – however lovely it would have been!

But in the true spirit of Forest School and making do with what is available – we’ve pulled out all the stops and Anna has agreed to do a Zoom session with us on Tuesday morning.  This will just be a short session for approximately 30 mins beginning at 11am.  To join, please reply to this email and we will send you the Zoom link. This session is open to all who booked for either of our Christmas sessions.

We are hoping to be able to come on line later today and are busy organising a Zoom version of the spiral session.  Please stay tuned to Mailchimp and our social media where there will be an update. If anything does happen, it will be at 5pm this evening, and again, will be open to anyone who booked for Christmas sessions.

As you will appreciate the Tier 4 ruling has happened at a very late notice and we have been working very hard to try and keep things as normal as possible.  We would ask that you please allow us to extend to you a credit for this session to be used in 2021.  Alternatively, if you do require a refund we would ask that you please contact us within 5 days to confirm this so that we can arrange this for you.

Remember – please check your mails and our social media for updates regarding a session later today and to also let us know if you can join us for a short session tomorrow at 11am.

Many thanks for your patience and as always, your support.

James and the Forries team
