Welcome back – New term 2010

Dear Parents

Welcome back to the new term – we hope you have enjoyed your Christmas, and made the most of the snow men opportunities!

This Sunday it is our first family Parade service of 2010, and we hope you are able to join us. Your child should be here in uniform for 10.30, and there will be coffee and biscuits in the hall afterwards. As Stephen Biddall is the Mayor’s Chaplain, and we are appointed the Mayoral Band for the year, the service will finish a little earlier at about 11.45. The Band and Stephen will then make our way along the seafront to lead the civic parade for the Blessing of the Sea.

We will meet at Westbrook Cottages (the road alongside Mario Photography on the Canterbury Road) and process at 12.15 to the sea front beyond the Nayland Rock. (BAND – please note we will turn onto the promenade by the flagpole at the Nayland Rock, and march past the shelter – the parade behind us will then have access down the steps onto the beach)

Forthcoming events:
Saturday 6th March Junior Fun and Competition Afternoon – letters to follow

Saturday 20th March National Band Competitions
After suggestions from the band, we are proposing extra rehearsals in preparation for this competition which is earlier than in previous years. We are planning to meet from 4 – 6pm on Sunday afternoons at the hall except for parade Sundays (or really obvious holidays!) Please let me know if you have any questions or any difficulties with this.

Saturday 3rd April This Easter Saturday will be the wedding here at Cecil Square of Rachel Facey and Gary Mead.

If you have any questions, then please do not hesitate to speak to one of the officers
