SEASON’S GREETINGS TO ALL FROM M4P

Spring Weekend 2010

We are now able to accept bookings for this exciting new venture.

The booking form and additional information are attached to this Newsletter.

Summer School 2010

Just to keep you up-to-date, preparations for next year’s school are well under way, and we hope to have the brochure out very early in the New Year. In the meantime, we have posters and flyers which are being displayed in suitable venues – music shops, music centres, colleges, rehearsal venues etc

If you would like to help promote the school, a copy of the flyer is available on the M4P website (www.m4p.org.uk). Please print some copies off and hand them out to all your musical friends. Personal recommendation is the best advert for the summer school, so please do your bit!
