please ring, email or write (see

For any of these courses it is always useful to know what level the student is at and what
type of equipment (if any) they have. This helps us to tailor a course that will
be of most benefit to them in advance.
If you wish to bring your own tools, if you have any, then you are very welcome to and Gregory
can offer advice on sharpening etc..
individually tailored courses are usually one to one and
therefore attract a 30% Supplement.
