If you can’t go let us know!

EDLC will introduce a penalty system for ‘no-shows’ at classes and activities on 31 August 2023.

So, if you can’t go to your pre-booked class or activity please let us know; you can cancel via EDLC app, web browser, phone or in person.

If members fail to attend a pre-booked class or activity the a £1 penalty must be paid prior to any other bookings being made.  The £1 penalty will be automatically applied to your member record and can easily be paid by one of three ways:
