This year is the nineteenth annual Guelph Spring Seminar so we'd
like
to see all our old friends again. This year as always we bring you a
truly
outstanding group of instructors.
When you look at the registration form you'll find that we've kept
the rates low for students (those in school)
and
a bit higher for those of us who are in the workforce. Please note
we've
also kept a steep penalty for those who pay "at the door" in an attempt
to get you folks to pre-register and reduce my ulcer production. Not
everyone
has lots of spare cash so you may opt to pay the non-refundable deposit
only and give us the balance when you get here.
Don't forget to make time for all our extracurricular activities,
especially
the Saturday night party, the auction is always a hoot even if you
aren't
bidding. You are all our guests for this event. As usual, we do expect
you all to spend at least the amount of your meal during the auction.
This year we'd like to continue one of our most popular pricing
deals
so get those beginners out, we're offering the 6 FOR 5 DEAL
again!
Get 5 pre-registrations together from your club and bring sensei for
free!
Call for details!
Looking forward to seeing all the old faces and many new ones as
well.
Kim.
