I think the Mandarin Club is still in the same location, but I know it as Orchard Villa. The entrace to OV is marked by two white decorative posts, and is across the street from the Master Bldg. I think the time for the lesson can be arranged, like with most stuff there. But Saturday seems to be the preferred day at the moment. Next one I’m going to is at noon. Also, I think anyone can begin at any point since the instruction is pretty much individual. There’s also a great website that gives a ton of information, but would never be as good as a good in-person instructor. http://www.art-virtue.com The combo is excellent.
