We need 8 people to make the weekend course viable (as we get a number of outside speakers and need a number of staff to give up their weekends)

Sadly if by the ................... we do not get the minimum 8 students, the course will be postponed. We usually have courses of about 15 student pilots.

Lastly, You CAN do it!
