You don't have to go every week, just turn up as and when, it's very informal. As you go through the main gates, take the main drive up to the house and the classes are held on the grass on the left hand side. They're held on a Sunday morning from 9am if I remember correctly. I hope this helps.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-61669886700447085472013-04-20T10:31:42.419+01:002013-04-20T10:31:42.419+01:00I've wanted to attempt a ripple for some time ...I've wanted to attempt a ripple for some time now and I'm not disappointed in how it's turning out, I love it.
