Membership is by invitation of Simon Champion.
- All Membership Fees are payable by Standing Order.
- Sessions run for a guaranteed 45 weeks a year; they do not run to school terms as Members find this disruptive to their progress and enjoyment
- in 2019 we ran 48 sessions and so any 'extra' weeks are a free bonus for Members.
- At Christmas, sessions do not run for 2 weeks, as Members give priority to their family commitments at that time.
- There may be odd weeks when halls are not available, due to redecoration or repairs.
- There are occasions when Simon Champion is away on training courses - or even on holiday!
- Maximum number at any session is limited to 15 students.

Disabled Membership
- Offered to those who require a Carer in attendance when they come to COREhealth sessions.
- Provided that the Member is present and is paying the appropriate fee, the Carer may attend and participate in sessions without further charge.
- The Carer has no Membership privileges in their own right unless they join in their own name.
- The Carer is responsible for the safety and conduct of the Member in their charge.
SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN
- may attend, and participate in, sessions without charge, provided that each one is accompanied by a Member of the Club who is paying by Standing Order.
- The conduct and safety of children attending are the responsibility of the accompanying Member, and they will be asked to leave if they cause unacceptable disruption to the session.
- School age children accompanying Members, but who do not wish to participate, may read or do homework in a designated location within the venue.
- The accompanying Member is responsible for the child's safety and conduct, as above.
Corporate Membership
- is not available at present. Organisations wishing to have COREhealth run sessions for their employees may follow either of two options:
- They may sponsor individual employees as Members, but the individuals join under their own names and set up Standing Orders through their own bank accounts;
- They may contract with COREhealth to provide bespoke sessions for employees, paying COREhealth an agreed fee for each session.
- As a guide - depending on the location and the number of sessions booked - costs are currently £50 per one-hour session plus £25 per hour travelling time.
