Summary
Our membership
is simple. We have kept things as plain as possible:
•
there is no joining fee or grading fee
•
a single fee is paid by
monthly instalments of £40 by standing order
•
the £40 fee is just for Monday night tuition
•
all
other training opportunities are extras
•
there are no lessons on Bank Holidays
•
if you go on holiday, are off sick or can't make class for whatever reason, we
won't give a refund or transfer your booking
Rachel's class
Rachel's 'Newcastle Tai Chi' class is the default for the school. It
teaches qigong and tai chi.
What is required of school members?
The terms are quite clear:
Pay membership fee by standing order on the 1st of the month
Students pay fees regardless of attendance
We do not offer refunds
Fees are not transferable*
Everyone must adhere to the Code of Conduct
Students must wear the required uniform
People who want to learn tai chi must meet insurance policy requirement criteria
Not-negotiable
The membership terms exist to keep the school up and running.
We expect all school members to abide by the terms.
As you like it...
If you don't want to pay
monthly fees by standing order and desire pay-as-you-go
(or object to any of our policies), this is fine. You'll need to look for a
different class...
*Non-transferable
The standing order covers Monday night tuition only. It cannot be used
towards workshops, the purchase of
DVDs or private lessons.
If you fail to attend a Monday session, the fee cannot be transferred.
Payment policy
If you want to attend a class, workshop or private lesson, please pay up-front in
cash in class or on-line.
We do not
offer refunds. If you cancel or do not attend, your place is forfeit. Your
booking cannot be transferred to another date.
Once a booking has been confirmed, please transfer payment
within 24 hours.
Bank Holiday Monday
Newcastle Tai Chi is always closed on Bank Holiday Monday. Bank Holiday
Monday fees cannot be transferred to another night or event.
If students don't like this policy, ask yourself: should we charge you
extra when it's a 5-week month?
Refunds & cancellation
Our membership policy is akin to a gym membership. We request
7 days notice if you are planning to
quit. That
way the student has the time to cancel their standing order in advance.
Should the standing order be inadvertently sent after notice has been
given, we will immediately refund the amount.
If you fail to give notice, don't attend classes or decide to cancel after
the first of the month we will not refund the monthly fee.
Sifu Waller's class
Sifu Waller's class within Newcastle Tai Chi is called 'Dynamic
Balancing Boxing' (which means 'tai chi chuan'). Membership is subject to
qualifying criteria.
Working with Sifu Waller
Tai chi chuan students who
work directly with Sifu Waller pay £50 a month instalments by standing order,
rather than £40.
Parity
Please do not ask for special treatment.
We will treat all students equally and refuse to make exceptions.
Health problems
Should any new problems develop (which might affect your ability to do tai
chi), please let us know at once.
Change of circumstance
If your circumstances change, please let us know by e-amil. e.g. change
of address, new mobile number, different next of kin.
If it directly affects your ability
to train/attend lessons e.g. an injury, then
please summarise (by e-mail if possible).
Re-joining?
People sometimes
quit
and then want to re-join the school at a later date. This is fine
providing you left on good terms.
