BRAT is BACK!
Dear Members, I’m delighted to say that the Government guidance permits BRAT to start resuming activities from Monday 29th March! Our coaches and leaders have been working hard to keep everyone engaged during the lockdown (and the previous tiered madness…!) and we sincerely hope that this will have been the final time we have to suspend training.
