Delighted at all the responses and interest there is from everyone wanting to learn in a group like myself.
I have been on to Josh the ski-instructer in Flumserburg, and he says once I know the number of people and a date to go ahead and book through the website.
He has also said its ok to book beginners lessons at the Weekend, though the website says otherwise. I'm going to clarify this with him.
So I'm up for any weekend in January, except the first one, will still be recovering from the night before!

I would suggest half days lessons.

1.Is there any date that someone can't do?
2. A show of hands, who wants to learn how to ski in a group, so I can contact the school with a number.
