Classes
Classes and open shop
Use the event listings below for the next dates, then use the club-side notes here if registration or logistics are not obvious from the event itself.
How class and open shop registration usually works
Start with the event listing itself. Some classes use the organizer's own website, and some club-run sessions use email or a named coordinator. If the event card does not already tell you where to go, use the club inbox as the fallback.
