While playing the quiz, you will enjoy delicious nibbles as well as the incontournable glass of wine!

When: Friday in March from 5.30pm (date TBC)

We are following the Government's social distancing and hygiene guidelines: Capacity limits will be in place to ensure people can stay at a safe distance from each other in classes. We are adopting the same physical distancing rules as in schools. We are to keep at least 1 metre apart in the classroom. For visitors (people we don’t know) physical distancing is 2 metres under the new alert level. We kindly ask our students, members and visitors to: - Comply with contact tracing requirements by using the QR codes in place at reception and in each classroom.  - Wear a mask at all times when you are at the Alliance. Exemptions for wearing a mask include children under the age of 12 and people with a medical condition that prevents them from wearing a mask safely or comfortably. - Regularly wash your hands and use the hand sanitisers provided at reception and in each classroom. - Please stay at home if you or your child are unwell.   We continue to take new enrolments and if you would like to start lessons online or at AFC please contact us. If you are a current student and would like to continue learning online, we can accommodate you! As we move cautiously back up through the alert levels and eagerly anticipate a return to a life without restrictions, I would like to take the opportunity to thank our amazing teachers and students for yet again digging deep and being resilient. We look forward to welcoming you back to AFC!

Merci beaucoup for your continued support
