FANCY DRESS WEEK (and Easter Egg Raffle)
We apologise for the late notice, we hoped to get a notice out last week but other circumstances got in the way.
This week we are having a Non-Uniform/Fancy Dress week at Redhurst where we invite all children to bring in £1 and in return, they can wear either their own clothes or be outrageous and wear fancy dress for classes!
Please make sure they can move comfortably and safely in their clothes.
We will also be having an Easter Raffle! For a chance to win one of three delicious Easter Eggs you can buy a ticket for 50p, three prizes means three chances.
ALL money raised from these two incentives will go straight into our SHOW FUND!
As you know, next term is show term and to put on a show costs thousands of pounds for the theatre, lighting, costumes etc, only some of which is covered by the show fee and ticket sales which we want to keep affordable.
Due to popular demand, and contrary to our original announcement we would like to put on THREE shows, (evening Tuesday 25th plus Matinee/Evening Wednesday 26th July) but to do so we need to raise a considerable sum. Every little helps, so please support us.
To summarise
Non-Uniform week (tomorrow Mon 13 to Sat 18 March) £1
Raffle tickets 50p (of course you can buy more than one if you wish 😀

Starting at age 3, I danced with Redhurst for 16 years, catching the performance bug which led me down the theatrical path I now take!

I started studying English Language at Cardiff University in September 2014. Shortly after I joined Cardiff’s contemporary dance society, Expression.
CHAPERONE LICENCES – what you need to know.
Thanks to those who are already coming forward to offer their services as chaprones, we need a lot more! It is not scary and you will get a lot of help.
Here are some of the most commonly asked questions.
If you CAN offer your services, please email [email protected] and we shall HAPPILY send you over details about the course.
If you have a licence already please let us know.
Q I wish to become a licensed chaperone. What do I do, how long will it take?
A A chaperone licence is issued by the Local Authority dependent on your home address, we only issue licences therefore to West Sussex residents according to which authority you pay your council tax. We hope to process all applications within 6 weeks.
[We are running a course for chaperones to help with festivals and the show on 1st March. If you live outside West Sussex or cannot make that date, please get in touch and we shall try and get you onto another course]
Q Grandparents/aunts/family members: do they need a Chaperone license to take the family children to photo shoots/performances?
A Yes they do need to be licensed. Only the natural Parents or Legal Guardian can act as a chaperone unlicensed for their OWN child.

a) Yes you will need to attend the Chaperone training to ensure you are up to date with all the Performance legislation.

A Volunteer Chaperones will be charged £15.
Professional Chaperones will be charged a fee of £65.

No other duties should be placed upon the Chaperone by the producers.
