Just for clarification purposes, this combat roll session is being offered on a Tuesday evening (6/26), so it doesn't actually overlap with the SWR class. However, we definitely understand not being able to get out / take classes so close together. Send a PM to Giggles and we'll try and make a date work out that suits you. Thanks for your interest!
Generally, I think that if I have the opportunity to paddle, and I've got something else to do or I feel like I shouldn't go for some reason, then I force myself to go and I always have a great time. So, I guess when in doubt -- Go, Paddle. -- Tommy Hilleke
