Dear members of AAfA,

We are holding various monies for classes not yet delivered to some 125 members. The majority of these are for approximately 25-30 euro. On Tuesday last the Committee met on a Zoom meeting to decide how best to deal with this. The following proposal was decided.

1.We notify members to let them know that our plan is to retain this money as a credit against classes when they restart. We will be working with DPCC to see how we might deliver our classes.2. In July we will send individual emails to each member so they know what amount they will have towards their next registration for classes. 3.We will review everything in late summer to respond to the situation at that point.We also decided at the meeting that we will now send out our emails every 2 or three weeks. We want to stay in touch and will keep you updated on any relevant information changes too. Here are the links and items of interest for the week…(NB: you cannot access them from this site)
