Snow Update

With snow still falling it is not certain whether trampolining will be on tonight - this decision will be made by Brentwood School Sports Centre later this afternoon. If the decision is made to:

• close then we will update the website calendar (www.brentwoodtc.org) as soon as we hear and you are encouraged to check this before travelling.
  
• remain open then we (coaches) will do our utmost to ensure that all is ready for you to attend as normal.

This advice will also apply to any future days of possible snow-disruption.

UPDATE : As of 3pm, 30th November, BSSC have yet to make a decision but expect to do so shortly after 4pm.

Buying a leotard for Christmas?

If so, be very careful where you go. One of our members has recently been stung by a company she had taken to be the suppliers of our club leotards. Following an order she has received no leotards and despite assurances they were re-sent has still not many weeks later. To avoid doubt, the only Star Leotards company we deal with is based locally in Billericay, their website is at www.starleotards.co.uk (pictured here) and they can be contacted by email at info@starleotards.co.uk. Any other firm calling themselves Star Leotards will not be the one we trust.

2010 Annual Report online

The club's annual report is now on our website at http://www.brentwoodtc.org/reports.htm where you can also find a copy of the minutes from last year's AGM. All members attending the AGM on 3rd December (starting at 7pm) are encouraged to read these before the evening in order to keep the meeting part as short as possible. Don't forget we are in a different venue this year (Brentwood Cricket Club's clubhouse at the old County Ground on Shenfield Road).

As well as Disco there will also be award presentations to this years Jack Petchey winners with a representative of the Jack Petchey organisation joining us.

There will be snacks available but please do remember to bring your own drinks and glasses.
