The Parent's Choir is official!
After rave reviews last week, we are proud to announce that Michael Solomon Williams will be running a Parent's Choir each Saturday of CYM from 9.30 - 10.00 am.
The session will take place in B132 and you don't need ANY previous singing experience. (We can accomodate 20 people.)
We don't want to charge a fee for the choir, so the suggested donation is £2.00 per session which goes directly towards funding bursaries for CYM students.
Please do drop in, you'll be hooked!

Instrument loan fees
Hello
I hope you've all had wonderful Easter holidays and really hope that none of you are stuck somewhere.
I wish I was blogging with something fun but I'm afraid it's the instrument loan fees again.
If your child has use of a CYMH instrument and you haven't paid your £25 for the year's loan, you must do so by Saturday 1st May 2010 (that gives you 2 Saturdays) to avoid getting in trouble.
Looking forward to a great summer term.
With many thanks for your cooperation!
Fiona
