Booking Details

Our main terms and conditions

As we have to pay the hall hire and other costs in advance places can only be reserved by payment of the deposit and then confirmed by payment of the final fee. We regret there can be no refunds if you don’t attend for any reason or don’t pay the final instalment. However, full refunds will be given if we have to cancel a Course for any reason.

BDARS cannot afford to subsidise the Courses so unfortunately there are no concessions. Our volunteer Instructors (most of whom are Registered Instructors with the RSGB) are giving their time free!

Any under 16’s will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian for all days. Accompanying parents or guardians will not be required to pay any fee, unless they want to do the Course as well!

Location and times

All Foundation and Intermediate Courses will be held at our meeting place, the Victory Social Club, which has been registered as an Examination Centre by the RSGB. Subject to arrangement the Full course and exams may be held at alternative places in West Wickham or Bromley.

Course times on Saturdays or Sundays are 8:30am for 9am start and finish about 6pm. Teas, biscuits and coffees will be available, but we suggest you bring a packed lunch. You will also need paper and pen, and the Course book.
