The University of Birmingham have been having problems with leaks in the new gym, sports hall recently. Paul White (Liaison Officer for the PC) is warning parents not to just ‘ Drop’ their kids off at training tomorrow (Saturday 19 October).
Parents are urged to check their emails before they set off to the Munrow Centre at the Uni. They make also be sure to come into the sports hall just incase the leaks have not been fixed and the hall is not usable. The Uni staff are hoping to fix the leaks before the training session . The Uni staff will email Paul to confirm courts ok early doors. Then parents will be contacted hopefully before they set off.
Now that the exams are nearly over the second half of the Summer term sees the Performance Centre back to normal training sessions. For some it has been a long break. Others might have spent the summer half term revising for those exams.
No matter how you spent your time the training sessions are now back to normal. Please check out the current training calendar HERE for start dates for your session.
