Hooray for standing up and telling it like it is! :lol:
There are free demonstrations at our guild and at the LQS.
The fees for classes are nominal, but necessary. If you had caved and let her stay without paying the fee, and everyone else HAD paid, then the next class would be "audited" for free by everyone who knew, and then what could you say!
It has been my experience that there are those who don't have the kit have the most questions, because they don't have material in their hands to actually know what is being taught! WTG!
