Happy New Year and welcome back to Peppercorns after the Christmas break.
- From 1st of March fees will increase by £2 per member per month to a maximum of 2 family members (£4). Those who have 3 or more family members the increase will only apply to the first 2 so it will still be £4. For example; if your current fee is £23 per member it will go up to £25 per member or if it is £44 per member it will go up to £46 per member.
- This only applies to the weekly theatre groups and Steve’s music pupils. This does not apply to Caroline or Simon’s music pupils as their increase has already come into effect.
- From 1st of March we will be unable to accept cheque payments for the theatre groups. Please ask for a Direct Debit mandate from a member of the team on your next visit or give us a call to post one to you.
- Fees for Caroline’s choirs and singing groups remain unchanged at the moment.
- All Theatre workshops fee’s and Steve’s Pupils fees have received a 20% to 30% discount over recent years for those who pay by direct debit and standing order as payments continue over 12 months including August when we are closed. This discount will continue for the foreseeable future.
