Hi all,
Getting close now.
Just hope the fabulous weather we are having at the moment
continues through to July.We are fully booked and some more.
Here are the Taransay Ten Commandments for the benefit of you all.
1-The catering staff would like to know if there are any vegetarians coming to
Taransay.email asap to dolanmorrison@tiscali.co.uk if not already done so.
2-The treasurer Mr Wood has intimated that anybody willing to pay prior to
arrival can do so.This minimises the adminisration and leg work on
Taransay.email to woodfootloose@aol.com
3-Due to the thursday night event dragging on too late it has been suggested
that thursday night will be Dance only at 8pm.
So the typical evening events will be something like:
Tuesday Night-Highland Games and Golf Tournament.
Wednesday Night-Tune Writing Competition(all students are encouraged to write a
tune if possible), Cabaret and Gaelic Choir.
Thursday night-Dance
Friday Night-Concert in Tarbert.
Any further suggestions are very welcome.
4-The boatman Capitan Macrae has asked if we could keep luggage to a minimum.
Thank You.
5-Due to there being limited catering on the Saturday and Sunday prior to the
event it is
recommended that you bring some food with you for saturday evening and sunday.
6-The bar will be charging £1.00 per drink throughout the week.
No slate im afraid.
7-No doubt our superstars will have CDs for sale.There will also be various
merchandising for sale so it is advisable to take some cash if at all
interested.
8-Hopefully Mrs Sandra Mackerron will be with us.Gaelic choir rehearsals are
daily just before the evening meal.Compulsory.
9-Classes will start asap on Monday morning as soon as we get a tutor on to the
island.With any luck we may have a tutor arriving sunday.
10-There are three classes per day (9.30,11.00,14.00) with the final period
15.30 a free period for rehearsal,etc.
Please note times are approximate.
Main points are really go easy on the luggage and remember some food for the
Saturday night and Sunday.
I hope you all have a wonderful time on Taransay and the commitee look forward
to meeting you all on the 18th.
Thanks so much.
The Chairman.
Dolan
