Dear
Windmill Young Actors and Parents,
We
have had another wonderful term at Windmill Young Actors with thrills and
surprises always around the corner. It’s been great to welcome new students who
have managed to fit in so quickly and brought new dynamics and energy to each
group. Thank you very much to those who have brought their friends along as
well.
This
term we have encouraged the young actors to make more of their own work and
they have come up with some really fascinating stuff. So rather than one big
show, this term’s performance will be a series of self-contained vignettes. We
will have performances from the two Saturday groups, the Thursday evening senior
group and the West Blatchington WYA group.

Fees
For
those of you who don’t know, Ben and I took on the running of Windmill Young Actors
after Blatchington Mill lost all of its funding for community arts programmes.
We
are committed to keeping the fees in the same bracket as when this was funded,
however we have had to increase the fees slightly since September in order to
cover our costs. So far we have kept the old fees for returning students. Please note, if you use the pre-booking
discount for next term then there is very little or no difference in the fees
from before.
From
now the fees are as follows for all students:
Fees
Full
Price: £100
Concession
(low income/income support): £70
Siblings: £80
Blatchington
Mill Students: £85
Assisted
Place: Contribution towards the
concession
Discounts
Pay
before December 22nd 2012 10% off
Recommend
a Friend 10% off
(If you pay early and
have recommended a friend who has joined then there is a 20% discount)
We
are committed to making sure that everyone who wants to join Windmill Young
Actors can. If this increase proves difficult or your situation changes then
please contact us and we’ll see what we can do. Similarly, if you know someone
who wants to come, but cannot afford the fees, please ask them to contact us
directly.
Next
term we plan to start working on a show which will be created over two terms
culminating in a big performance in the Summer. This will involve all the
Windmill Young Actor groups. We are also considering being part of the Brighton
May Festival.
Here
are the dates for next term:

We
would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support and
entrusting us with your wonderfully talented and creative children. It really
is always a pleasure and honour to work with them.
All
the best,
Ben
and Tanushka
