WHEN:  Saturday, 1 August 2009
TIME:  4pm
WHERE:  Plantations Cafe, Booval (PA Hotel)
WHO:  Everyone

If you feel like you are being inundated with reminders about the meeting, then you’re right, but I’m doing this for a reason.  I regularly hear people’s complaints, suggestions, rumours etc, so it’s obvious that most people have an opinion on many things relating to dancing or the studio, but so far this year attendance at each of the meetings has been poor to say the least. 

I truly believe that it is important for everyone to have an opportunity to contribute to the development and improvement of the studio, as many of you spend a lot of time, money and effort here.  So, I understand that you may forget, or you may have others things planned on Saturday’s, but if you can make it, then please do…..it really is a good way to relay your brilliant ideas and hear other people’s too.

Studio Meeting is tomorrow, 1 August 2009.

As I am often teaching, or tied up with other duties, the best way to contact me is by email.  This way I can answer you:

1.  When I have the time - rather than interrupting someone’s lesson

2.  With more accuracy - if your question/request etc is in writing, it makes it easier to refer back to in the event that the response requires more research or thought than a quick yes/no answer.

TIME:  4pm

As many of you spend a lot of time at the studio or participating in dancing-related events, it is great for you to have the opportunity to voice your opinion, offer advice and assist where appropriate.

The next meeting is Saturday, 1 August 2009.

I’m sure it is frustrating at times, for them to have so many cars in the street, surrounding their home, so let’s all make it that little bit easier for them by NOT PARKING IN THE NEIGHBOUR’S DRIVEWAY!

Thanks everyone….

Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

GOOD LUCK!!!!
