There may be more costs further down the line.
Now, three years down the line, we’re beginning to see the problems with the treatment.
I have discussed extending the session by 30 minutes with both the pool and Harry and Amie (who will be covering me for my maternity leave from the summer term) and unfortunately, it is not something we can pursue due to school timings - anyone arriving early will appreciate the number of cars already on site until about 15:50 and from a teaching perspective already 16:00 can be difficult for some with traffic while already the 18:30 slot is the least popular and opening a 19:00 class is likely to be very difficult to sustain so we would just be creating a further problem down the line. All of this was confirmed yesterday.
Lots of things will have changed a few years down the road.
A marketable product is a long way down the line.
