Acting on the directions of government, MCSDA will be closed until further notice. I know there may be other Martial Arts Schools still operating or offering small group sessions. Martial Arts is a very ‘up close and personal’ activity and ours especially so, therefore the enforcement of social distancing is vital to help slow the spread of this virus.
PAYMENTS
There have already been some cancellations of payments. I totally understand, but we are going to suspend payments for all members from April. What this means is; Aprils payment will be taken, and we will credit this to all members upon our resumption by giving them a month’s free training and a free grading once we are up and running again.
If you cancel your payment, your contract states you are liable for the month in advance as everyone is on a monthly rolling contract. By suspending payment, we have tried to ensure you don’t lose out. If you choose to end your journey with us during the enforced break, then please cancel your Direct Debit at the bank and NEST will action it accordingly.
Suspension means once we resume everyone will get that month back and not have to pay plus a free grading. We are trying our very best to ensure the survival of MCSDA so that we are here for everyone once this critical time has passed. I hope that our members will support us through this difficult period and that we will all emerge stronger and better than before. I intend to use this enforced break to look at our operation and to see if there are ways, we can improve on what we do and look at class structure and timings, syllabus refinement etc.
It’s difficult, and I know many of our member’s may face uncertain times ahead.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support over the years and wish you all well and look forward to everyone being back at MCSDA as soon as possible, so we can get back to what MCSDA does best ‘changing lives’ Please keep an eye on our Facebook Group Page as we intend to resume operation at the earliest, safest opportunity. We will update the pages on May 1st or before if things change significantly.
Until then, look after each other and stay safe.
