Timetable

All of our sessions are included in SLDC family membership, which helps cover the cost of running our activities. As a member you'll receive the weekly newsletter telling you exactly what's on. No one should miss out because of cost. If the family membership isn't affordable for you, please get in touch — we'll always find a way for you to take part.
