Hi Adrian

Would you please post a reminder to the TY Magazine Group that their trip tomorrow night 31st May 2016 is at 6.30 p.m.Pat's on the Square followed by the cinema at 8.45 p.m.   The meal is paid for out of the profits of sale proceeds and the cinema sponsored them for their hard work - I emailed a list of their names to the cinema, so if they go in as a group together ! Each student is required to make their own travel arrangements.  A letter of notification has gone out to home. 

thanking you.
