A bit of good news is sorely needed in these days. The city council has now given us our alloted time slots for next year, and starting from the coming autumn term, we have been given back our original Friday hours (i.e. starting from 6.30pm), and after five years of tough negotiations, we have managed to get the Wednesday practice to start one hour earlier. So, starting from August, the practice hours will be as follows:
Wednesdays 7.00pm–9.00pm
Fridays 6.30pm–9.30pm
