Special courses

Courses lasting 4 hours for 6 days in a row, with min. 3 and max 6 participants and levels from bronze to gold, for those disliking big groups.

These courses start at 9:15 and end at 1 pm, and include a competition at the end of the course, with prizegiving, classification card and certificate.
