2nd May '17: Keeping in the loop!

Hi all,

As classes have grown and developed, time away from class delivery to dedicate to Southend Parkour is often tight in between other employment and commitments.

Southend Parkour is a relatively small set-up and we will always respond at the earliest possible opportunity to all questions/contacts made with us. We work around the clock to give our loyal and new customers/students a positive service and provide everyone with all needed information wherever possible.

There's a general priority for information sharing and news will be shared as follows:

1. Email Newsletter
(First place for new classes, courses and important news)
2. Website News Page (New information regarding shared here within days after newsletter)
3. Facebook page updates, events etc. (Session news, thank you, images, video, offers etc)
4. Twitter (quick updates, links, offers and news)
5. Instagram (Class pictures, training footage, useful content and inspiration)
6. Youtube (Tutorials, training footage and Parkour videos)

If you have queries about advanced bookings you can check your class bookings using the following guide: Check your bookings here: https://goo.gl/mMCD0K

Certain channels will include exceptions to the above, but in short, if you sign up to our newsletter you'll be the first to receive updates regarding Beginner Courses FIRST, alongside important updates before it's shared anywhere else.

You can sign up to all of these, via the links above. You can also check out the website's FAQ page, for other questions you may have.

Hope this helps and look forward to seeing, speaking with and moving with you again real soon!

Brad - Lead Coach and Owner.

3rd Aug 2015: Class Update & Parkour at Parliament.

Hi all! Brad here, hard to believe that it's coming up to a year since the adult outdoor classes started and it's been great to see so many people learning about and catching a real passion for Parkour and movement. I'm sure everyone who's been coming to classes has seen an improvement in movement ability alongside new friends and improved fitness. Keep it up and share what we're doing!

Class Changes:Being the first year SP is running classes over summer, there will be some last minute changes/cancellations if class bookings are quiet while students and families are way/on holiday. This is to ensure that good numbers are in attendance for students to enjoy classes together and to at least cover hall hire costs. To help avoid these late changes, please do book classes sooner than later.

The only date to mention in advance so far, is that there will be no classes on Friday 14th due to a hall booking error at St Bernard's. Any bookings already taken for this day will be refunded.
Parkour UK AGM
The Parkour UK AGM 2015 went well with a good representation of coaches from across the UK including the Parkour UK President Sebastien Foucan. There's plenty of exciting news including the continuation of Parkour being officially recognised by the UK's national sport bodies, further membership and insurance options not only for Parkour professionals but students.There's plenty of other exciting "behind-the-scenes" work/news which will be shared by out NGB in due course.

Parkour at Parliament!
Our Ninja Warrior UK and Parkour friends, Katie Mcdonnell and Shirley Darlington-Rowat met with Tracey Crouch from the Department for culture, media and sport to show and share what it's like to #givePARKOURaGO. This was a great high-level  opportunity to show the prevalence of Parkour in today's community, alongside the importance and growing amount of women in Parkour. Facebook post here:
