VIVALDI GLORIA - Saturday 21^st November, 2009

Following the success of the wonderful Faure last year, we are delighted to announce that once again the fabulous Cambridge Chamber Consort will be performing, in aid of the Cundall Appeal, at St Columba's Church, Topcliffe on Saturday 21^st November. Our Chamber Choir will also be joining them to sing and the performance will include a selection of choral and close harmony favourites.

The concert will start at 7.30 pm and tickets are priced at £10 each.  Wine and soft drinks will be available during the interval.  Tickets are available from the school office or on the door. 

We apologise for an error in last week's newsletter. In the U11B rugby v St Mary's Hall match report. One of the tries was attributed to the wrong player. The tries were in fact scored by Jack Stabler-Langan and Herbie Milton. We are sorry for any distress caused.

Ladies Lunch

Fantastic Ski Opportunity

We have put a deposit on a Chalet in Tignes at the same time as the School Ski Trip (2nd - 9th January 2010) which we have not been able to fill.  We are therefore offering this to parents/families, the chalet sleeps 14 (7 twin rooms).  It is a very comfortable chalet and conveniently located -  it is a short walk to the ski lift. 

The cost per head is £700 which includes return flights from Leeds Bradford to Chambery and full board at the chalet.  This price does not include Ski hire, Ski pass or Ski school. 

If you are interested please contact the school office as soon as possible.  All 14 places have to be sold.
