Hello All, following queries raised last session regarding term dates for this term.  I can confirm that we are running on the 11th Oct (this Saturday) and will return after half term on the 8th November.  The following Saturday is the trip to The Forum Recording Studio, where Karena Franceska has already laid guide tracks for the cast… photos to follow :-)!!! 

Our official end of term falls on November 30th. Our customary  End of Term open day (performance, nibbles and drinks) takes place on December 6th 2008 and costs £15 per student.  The food is usually of good quality, the drink frequently cheerful and heart warming and the performance always entertaining and delightful.  Hope this clears up any confusion.  See you all on Saturday.
