Message from PYO Committee

Dear Parents/Members of PYO

This week PYO are performing in the Childline Concert (5^th December) which is closing the autumn/winter season.  All the best for this first performance of the “new” orchestra.
 
Before we all break for a well deserved holiday I would like to mention two important events next year:  

• PYO Ceilidh on 1^st February at St. Matthew’s Hall with the band Can-You-Reel-It, which is always a great fun and an occasion to socialise for all the Members and Parents; 
• Prosecco Tea Party on 28^th March, a repeat of the last year’s fabulous fundraiser – a lovely treat for your special guests and friends.

 Please mark them in your new 2020 calendars.
 
On behalf of the PYO Committee I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year with lots of beautiful music.
 
Kind regards
Gosia Stanton
PYO Honorary Secretary
