Festive Wishes

christmas-card-2016-frontOn behalf of all the GMAC Instructors and Assistants, we’d like to take the opportunity to thank you all for another great year.  2016 has been an extremely busy year, filled with various events, competitions, lots of courses and seminars.  Its kept us all on our toes at times.  But we’ve loved sharing every minute of it all with you all, as well as the extended GMAC family, parents and carers.

Personally we’d like to thank the instructors who’ve put so much in to the classes this year, continually working hard, pushing the students to get the best from them.  We’ve seen every single student achieve something this year, and we look forward to working hard to achieve even more in 2017.

We as always thank you for your continued support, and wish you all a very happy and safe holiday with family and friends.

Merry Christmas & A Very Prosperous New Year when it comes!!  We’ll see you all refreshed and raring to go in January!

Mr. & Mrs. McIlvaney and family
