Notes on class sizes

TCNA reserves the right to restrict class size.

We are aware some folks may be able to attend classes at various times and locations while others cannot. We hope folks continue to help TCNA balance out attendance at locations that have restrictions.

The class you sign up for is considered your home location.

If you go to a class at a location other than your home location please be aware preference will be given to those registered for that location especially as regards class size restrictions.

We welcome you, subject to any class size limitations, to go to classes at different locations while you are signed up for a session.

We also request that you help us deliver high quality instruction respecting that TCNA is an all-volunteer organization.
