The Royal Ballet School Matinee Performance thread over on the Performances seen part of the forum has a link to grad destinations. I haven’t looked in recent years but had one point it used to high light who had been an associate of school

Modibodi period knickers have been mentioned on this thread and interested to see they have launched a style aimed at dancers and gymnasts. They are listed as ‘Recycled Seamfree hi-leg cheeky’

If you Google NHStracing they will contact you via text, phone or email if you don’t have the app. Have you been somewhere in last week and had to give contact details? Coffee shop etc

As @Peony says if asked to show a vaccine passport I would hope to do it from the NHS app, takes seconds to download and has no medical details just a qr code. I no longer have a printer. PCR tests I’ve had as part of the ONS research and lateral flows are recorded using my NHS number so will be on my medical record so would hope are linked to the qr code.

Hmm I’ve just tried and it works for me

https://faq.covid19.nhs.uk/article/KA-01317/en-us As I read it app can inform you you’ve potentially been near someone with C19 (point 2) so you are aware and what to do or you definitely have (point 1) and need to isolate and will then get the isolation countdown.

We’ve used AXA, had to arrange via phone call as an add on to our family yearly travel policy.

From my recollection it varied year on year. We were told had Dada offer early on but waited some time to find out details of parental contribution. If you’ve been offered a Dada and are within the income bracket then it’s another frustrating waiting game.

The schools manage the Dada so you need to contact the appropriate school and ask them. They are usually very approachable because understand it’s stressful for parents wanting to know their contribution.

Because they live in shared year boarding houses on site?

Ballet Boost have done summer courses in past at Pineapple studios

Pleased you’re not suffering from misting. Just a thought maybe you need to look at fit of glasses or mask fit at bridge of nose. Lots of workers, NHS and more are having to move around vigorously with both mask and glasses on and can’t afford to keep letting their glasses fall into their work space.

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/covid-19-coronavirus-restrictions-what-you-can-and-cannot-do#exercise-sport-and-physical-activity This has lots of info about what should be doing.

Given option last year to bounce tickets to this years tournament or refund. Since informed that tickets won’t be eligible for this year as don’t know what the capacity and social distancing will be so now valid for 2022.

Do you have the correct Northern Ballet school? Leeds don’t run a full time program but do have a summer school. Manchester have vocational training and have had summer school in past

There is an Instagram account mentioned that is giving each business publicity. I had fun last night looking at lots of the Instagram accounts and what people were making/selling. There is an associated website. Notonthewestend.co.uk and Instagram is same name with links from each post to the seller.

An Elmhurst reels ‘advert’ has appeared in my stories this morning.

Could be but we’ve very intermittent public transport - train service from main towns but for most of us an 40 plus minute drive to a station. Local buses stopped a few decades ago and were only once or twice a week before that. I didn’t work in last lockdown so can’t compare but thought workplace car park seemed emptier at end of day.

I have an hours drive to work leaving home at 6.40 am. The three days I’ve worked since this lockdown began the traffic has been as heavy as normal if not heavier. There are always a lot of freight trucks from Felixstowe but this is extra cars.

We used to get hold of him via the Bloch shop in Covent Garden

My Dd who currently works in retail had visions of groups of friends all arranging various click and collects from different shops whilst all meeting for a take away coffee

The click and collect is an odd one. Surely it just encourages people out onto high streets to mix.
