Early Bird Discount ends 28th April!!

Well, its time to get your skates on!

We need to know numbers for all courses in the next few weeks so if you are DEFINITELY coming then please book up now.

Based on student feedback from last year we will be limiting numbers on some courses as we really want to make sure that we can provide the best quality experience for ALL students. Remember it’s first come first served and we don’t want to have to put you on the waiting list!!!! Early bird discount is £25 off the price as long as your application and deposit of £60 reaches us before 28th April 2018

Bring a friend and get £50 off!

When we ask people how they heard of M4P, the most popular answer is ‘A friend told me’. So, to encourage friends to bring a ‘new’ friend we are offering a £50 discount again this year. So don’t delay, go on and ask that friend you spoke to when you came back from last years’ summer school and told them what a great time you had!

New Committee Members

As you know the entire school is organised by a dedicated band of volunteers. We are delighted to welcome Hilary Levan this year. The current committee would like to be able to hand the school onto the next generation in good order for the future. The school needs to constantly evolve to meet student needs. To do this we need some younger blood in the form of some new committee members. So if you would like to offer some of your spare time to take on a few duties then please contact Jill Snowdon at jill@m4p.org.uk or Kevin John at kevin@m4p.org.uk
