Hello folks!!!! We will be going to Ninja Warrior in Speke on Wednesday 20th November. The session starts at 3, you can travel there yourself or join a group of us getting the 86A from Upper Parliament Street at 1:45pm. Ninja Warrior has told us we must arrive by 2:40pm - try not to be late as it will eat in to your time on the equipment.
Tickets are £14.50 per person for a two hour session plus mandatory Ninja Warrior grippy socks. We will be taking payment through paypal (club account is tres.lumc@gmail.com). This needs to be done immidiately. Drop us a message if you can't use paypal. If you do not pay by Wednesday 13th November you will lose your spot and therefore no longer have access to the discounted price.
If you have come to buy a ticket but there are none left then we will have reached the capacity of the booking - you are more than welcome to join us seperately but will have to book yourself and pay the regular fee (2 hours - £20.95).
We will probably go to the pub after (classic). We're excited to see you there!!!
