We have retired this membership category as it had a small number of members.  We also needed to simplify our membership categories to help manage the new online bookings for classes.  If you are currently a Premier Membership Monthly you need to cancel this membership and rejoin on another package.  If you are a Premier Membership Annual we will be in contact to discuss the options.
