Through a generous donation, we are able to buy some new instruments. We are also able to offer a grant of £500 to help a music centre member buy their own instrument, particularly if you need to replace a beginner instrument with a better quality instrument to help your progress. If you wish to be considered, please apply to Alicia by letter at PO Box 219, Newton Abbot, TQ12 4XU, by May 25th 2012, with details of why you wish to be considered.

Please ask for a form and a recycling bag for printer cartridges and old mobiles, to help us raise money for music and instruments.

Music centre members should stay on site until collected at the end of your ensemble. Please do not leave the schools between ensembles, for your own protection and safety. The Boys' Hall is staffed throughout, and is the best place to wait to be collected.
