It was brilliant – easily accessible from the centre and lovely people running it. We started with some videos and information about the 3 games and then split off to learn and practice them. Our coach, Dan, was great – a laugh and didn’t pressure any of us but kept friendly competition going. Glad to have done it and would recommend to anyone who is visiting and has the time!
