Helen Beaumont, I'm in my thirties (thirty-twenty-two to be precise) and I learnt to snowboard this year. I hope you won't mind a few comments.
1. One morning's tuiton is not enough. Have at least 2 lessons. I was really slow and floundered around until the third day. Then suddenly I could turn! There was a crescendo of orchestral music, the sun came out, the mountain beckoned and I boarded off into the sunset.
2. Get some protection. Have a look at Snowboarding for Beginners and ski-injury.com . I went with helmet, wrist guard and sacral protection (Dainese). I was very glad I had all three.

Good on yee...  Theres no going back once you journey towards the darkside.
Advice on protection... most valuable bit of equipment for your early learning day's, when taking lessons, are wrist guards.. the others yes if you can afford and think you'll stay the distance.. but to start of with, defo the wrist guards.
Helps with saving your wrists when trying to save your behind while falling backwards. That was the part I found most painful.
Best of luck and enjoy !!!
