PRACTICALITIES:
Your name will be placed on the LBC registration list, which will be held at the door to gain entry.
If a 9.00am start is too early for you, it will be possible to join us at break or lunchtime. Please advise [email protected] if you will be a late arrival.
The School politely requests that we leave the premises during the lunch break as they do not have the space to allow us to eat lunch on site. However, if you have any mobility issues, please advise events @tlbc.org.uk so we can arrange for you to stay on site during the break, and, to reserve seating for you in the studio.
Booking is now open to members. Members may book for themselves and a guest. Booking will open then non-members, if there is still availability.
Once the ticket type says ‘unavailable’ then we are unfortunately SOLD OUT. If you are interested in attending, please email [email protected] with your name and email, to be put on the waiting list.
