Yes Loopy When I did Cranbrook 2 years ago, we had to wait for a number of sections to end before the adjudication results which were given out in batches to speed things up !

Yes we use this when sending DS off on the trips too and from Birmingham - obviously it only works when connected to a network or Wifi so they appear to disappear if on the underground or in an area where the phone signal is poor etc . It's quite reassuring and has even helped us to locate a phone left on a train ! Since he is still young it's a condition that he keeps it on in return for being allowed his independence and an iPhone ! I can usually garuntee that he won't go far without his phone !

Lovely memories of doing the Janet Cram competition with my DS two years ago - time flies ! Good luck to your DD !

I meant MDS on the government website - searched but can't find it !

I've heard that too - I think it's on the government mods website

So scary ! Hugs and more prayers coming your way xxx

Congratulations !!

Just to say I'm so sorry to hear this devastating news , my heart goes out to you and your DD ..... I do hope that you find a safe way to continue to get some enjoyment out of some form of dance in the future ????

Aha I see ! We are coming up from the coast ...

From where to London amethyst ? I'm still thinking a traveloge will work out cheaper than a daily train at that time of day !

I bet he has had a few offers winging their way to him !

What super talent and creativity ! Jacob was a worthy winner .....looking forward to see what else is on the website now !

After checking email and junk box a million times I phoned and found the email address had been misspelt ! So it's a yes for DS for course B week 2 - he will be so excited !

No sign of an email for us - hoping I've not misspelt it on the form ......or maybe the boys are being done tomorrow !

Nothing here either !

Wonderful news xxxx

The MDS Uniform allowence at Elmhurst is around £600 , which is more than adequate for a boy when you have made the inital outlay , unless they grow very fast , or loose their taps shows etc. I think the girls parents struggle to stay within that with the more expensive pointe shoes and tights ! The Formal uniform is often avaliable second hand from students who have grown out of it as it's not frequently worn and therefore in good condition !

Love and prayers from us too for you and your DD's Regattah xxx

Just had the pleasure of watching the younger DS in his termly watching day for his grade 4 modern! I've not seen him in class for a couple of years as its too early in the day whilst I'm still at work....... - what a lovely surprise to see how hard he has been working ! His teacher an old Elm suggested I should encourage him to go back to ballet , which he stopped 3 years ago as it was "too boaring" and he could not keep still enough for his ballet teachers liking , so she suggested he try tap and modern instead ! I had rather thought he was about to give up dancing altogether as he will never love it as Big DS does and is so not flexible , though has a natural turnout ! I hope he doesn't have to restart with all the little girls....I think I'll suggest a couple of trial classes and see how that goes after Easter ! I was also sad to see that several mums only drifted in towards the end of the class , interrupting the flow and at least one was more focussed on her smart phone that the children ........

Yes I do now and sometimes a sliver of toothpick if the hole has widened ! So far that has extended the life till he has out grown the last pair ! - learning new tricks every day !

Did just the same thing as you suzysoo ! Always loosing them !

I just point out that he spends hours watching sport on his laptop ! - dancing is both sport and art !

Indeed the closing date for B was only last week or the week before so I'm not expecting to hear before Easter !

Find that very hard to believe ! Seems completely illogical - I would definitely speak direct to someone at the school if I were affected - sounds like a case of chineese whispers .......

Also waiting for news from ENBS -the deadline has not long passed , so waiting patiently!
