Date Clash?
The date clashes with another event for your family?
We have other areas you can apply for. Note that you will firstly need permission from your Club Instructor. Next, you must confirm the area of your choice with your Club Instructor so they may apply on your behalf.
Avoid disappointment: you must be registered to grade in the alternative location. You cannot just simply arrive and be graded.
