There are still a lot of ‘Form Cs’ missing – the compulsory Cumbria County Council health and safety form. Please return them as soon as possible – I have attached a copy.
Some students also need their final balances paying for the tour – I will send out some polite reminders tomorrow.
Thank you!!

Kay – don’t know if Adam’s asked, but could you take the drum kit??? My car will be full with the rest of the gear!!
There are only a handful of tickets left for the Royal Marines Social on Friday 26th May at The Coro, featuring our own Swing band and the Marines’ Dance Band, 7.15 – 10.45pm-ish.
£10 each including pie’n’peas supper. Cabaret seating.
We have just signed off the three concerts for Wind Band whilst in Germany:
Mon 17th July – Kurpavillion in the Kurpark, Bad Munster am Stein-Ebernburg (19:30 – 20:45hrs)
Tues 18th July – Konigsbacher Biergarten am Deutches Eck, Koblenz (20:00 – 21:15hrs)

ALSO – there is ‘Friends’ meeting on Tuesday (9th May) at 6.30pm in the Meeting Room in A Block. As usual, all are welcome to attend as we prepare for the Marines Weekend as well as the Summer Concert and Tour. We are desperate for a volunteer to take over as treasurer as Louise Steur will be standing down after the Summer Concert – please, please, please could someone step forward (it isn’t too onerous a task – honest!!)
A reminder that we need all the Form Cs (health and safety) back as soon as possible. If you are awaiting a new passport, please still get the form in and then send the new passport details once you have them.
Unfortunately, all balances also need to be paid in full by next week – total to pay is £350 (£270 after the £80 deposit). All info should be on your ParentPay account, but if you are unsure what is owing, please contact Mr Butler
