Friday Evening Summit Meet-Up

It would be lovely to see you before the Summit starts.
The university will be particularly busy as the new students are returning, so please allow a little extra time.
Parking
I’ve also been advised that Nottingham University is now enforcing parking charges at weekends, so please watch out for this when you arrive and make sure you follow the relevant parking and payment instructions.
Finally
As the Summit is now fully booked and we are so close to the event, we are unable to swap tickets or offer refunds at this stage.
I’ll check in with you all again just before the Summit with any final information.
If you have any questions in the meantime, WhatsApp me on 07976 268672.
I’m so excited for this one. It’s going to be a brilliant weekend of Fitness Pilates, education, new ideas, networking and catching up with so many of you.
See you in Nottingham.
