Just for clarification purposes, this combat roll session is being offered on a Tuesday evening (6/26), so it doesn't actually overlap with the SWR class. However, we definitely understand not being able to get out / take classes so close together. Send a PM to Giggles and we'll try and make a date work out that suits you. Thanks for your interest!
