Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I haven't done much sport since I was a
girl. How fit and confident do I have to be?
A: She Who Dares was set up with the aim of enabling women to 'have a
go' and get fit and skilled in the process. Many of our members started
out very hesitantly in the activities and now relish their weekly 'fix'.
The beauty of it is that you are in an environment which supports and
encourages you to develop your confidence and you go away from a session
determined to go a little further, higher or longer next time.
Q: I've never climbed, sailed or kayaked
before. Can I still come along?
A: All the formal sessions are lead by qualified coached who will work
with you to teach and then develop your skills. In addition, within the
session, you work with other group members who are experienced and can
also help in bringing on your skills. Before long you will find yourself
encouraging and helping someone else new to the group. No more will you
be content to hold the coats while your family goes off to have all the
fun!
Q: What will I need to wear for wet
activities?
A: You will be able to borrow waterproof trousers and jackets from ESSA
at no charge. If you have your own, bring those. If you have a wetsuit
you might like to wear it underneath the waterproofs. Wet shoes are also
a great idea, otherwise wear old trainers. Bring a towel and wash kit if
you'd like to have a shower afterwards.
Q: What will I need to wear for other
activities?
A: You will need comfortable clothing, trainers or boots and waterproof
jacket/trousers if it looks like rain!
Q: How much will I need to pay?
A: Most events cost £8 per person. Some events such as walks and bike
rides are 'fundraising' events and cost only £5. Special events such as
gliding are charged at cost.
Q: How do I book?
A: Please use the Events and Booking option and follow the link for
whichever event you want to book. This takes you straight to our booking
facility which is managed by Eventbrite.
Q: Can I cancel my booking?
A: Yes, all you need to do is send an email to
bookings@shewhodares.info.
You need to cancel because we are limited to numbers at some venues and you may be
preventing someone else from taking part.
You may still be charged £8 if you DO NOT cancel your booking.
