If you call or are in the store we will know how many spots are available, you can pay by credit card, cash or debit now! That means classes will now have GST added, for the first 3 months the teachers have all agreed to absorb the tax, then in June it will be added to your total. (Please note classes are not eligible for loyalty card punches as these are not inventory ) In the end this will be easier for everyone! 
 
UBUD dream kits have sold out, the next kit will be launched in March :-) with new papers and ideas!
