WEEK ONE 



TODAY  HAPPY NEW YEAR



                  Claim forms with registers should be in folders today. 



                  Gwyn Flitters is in New Zealand for the next three weeks.



                  Her Recorder group will be taken by Helen Spencer and I will take    

		  on her Aural TT as much as time allows.



                  I will also take choir from 10.00 > 10.30 today.



EXAM RESULTS Staff will by now know of examination results from last term.



                  Please hand those in to me in order for them to be published     

		  abroad.



                  I do know that Josie Cresswell (Helen Spencer) managed a      

		  Distinction in Grade 3 Recorders. While it is not my intention to     

		  tout on behalf of any specific board, staff who have not done so     

		  would be wise to check out the Trinity/Guildhall syllabus. The     

		  venue is attractive (King's Hall) and the sessions are often just that     

		  little bit later than, say, ASB .With time so limited on a Sat Am     

		  that feature in itself could hold an attraction.   



PROGRESS BOOKS



                  Hopefully there will be sufficient for today. If not put in a request

                  At the Desk.



TRUSTEES/EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE



                  The next meeting will be held on Thursday January 24, 7.30 @

                  Aylands Road.



AGM   		  Pressure of time meant that the AGM held last December was held     

		  over for completion until Saturday March 1st 11.00 for 11.15.



                  The accounts for 2006/07 were also held over. These have now     

		  been completed-many thanks to Penny and Stephen Phillips-and     

		  will be published before the meeting.

                  It is worth giving the web site the once-over at times. This      

		  newsletter plus AGM notes, accounts etc new items etc are      

		  published, as will results once I have them.



		  YOUNG CARERS Dates for this term will be given next week.



		  CONCERT  I am having an increasing number of staff who are asking for some



                  Opportunity for students to show what they have been up to.     

		  February has been suggested and I will try and come up with some     

                  ideas for such an event to be held before the end of this term.
