🚨 Important information 🚨
Hello everyone, I am writing this message with a level of guilt and stress I have not experienced before.
As many of you are aware, I had plans to travel over Christmas and new year leaving on Monday 22nd. As much trip has approached, there has been a huge amount of flight cancellations with my airline, with all flights this week being cancelled. People are reporting being stuck at the airport with no options apart from to ‘go home’ or new flights days later with stupid layovers.
At midnight last night, my airline wouldn’t not confirm whether my flight would or wouldn’t leave and many reposts stated that people wouldn’t find out until stood at the gate after check in. So late last night I had to make a decision. Change flights and go with a different airline or risk spending Christmas in some random airport alone.
With much research only one option seemed logical, and that was to book a last minute flight and travel to Manchester airport with only 3 hours sleep.
There for I will be away from now , until the beginning of January. This does mean classes turn sooner in the new year than originally planned.
What does this mean to classes and courses this week.
Tonight - cancelled
Thursday - cancelled
Friday - 2 hours as normal with association instructors (thank you for helping me) this is where students can pick up karate suits , tracksuits and gloves.
Sundays Christmas Camp - rescheduled to January 11th. If you can’t make this new date, a refund can be given once i return.
I apologise for any inconvenience caused and I feel tremendous guilt. I write this exhausted, miserable , probably missing everything important from my suitcase, but actually on a plane that isn’t cancelled.
Please forgive me for last minute changes… we will start the new year STRONG as a team!
Kind regards
Sensei James
