It would be a good idea to bring a bottle of water as some classes are physical, other than this please do not bring food or drink.
If you must bring a mobile phone it must be switched off and either handed in or left with your belongings – in which case we can not be held responsible for it.
We expect a certain amount of self discipline. This is important as regards the safety of you and others in the group.
