Dear Members,

At our meeting in May we held our AGM which our President Jane Pritchard chaired. After the business had been completed Jane gave us a fascinating talk about Anthony Crickmay and his work as a photographer within ballet.

Our June meeting will be held in the theatre space at Bird College and we are delighted that Dame Beryl Grey CH., DBE will be our Guest Speaker. Tea, coffee & biscuits served from 6.30pm outside the theatre, please feel free to use the cinema seats near the back door, the Ladies & Gents are nearby .Luis D’Abreu and Shirley Coen Executive Directors, Andrew Wilson Head of Ballet and Lai-Sheung Chan Senior Ballet Tutor and 46 of their ballet students from Bird College of Performing Arts will be joining Club Members past & present  with their guests for a very special evening to end the term before our Summer recess.

Ballet Club sent Inge Kelly a card on her 94th birthday, we have had the following reply from her daughter Anne Marie Braun: “I had my suspicions before now, but they were confirmed when my mother opened her latest newsletter from the Ballet Club: it was you who organised and sent her lovely birthday card with the matching '94' in silver on it. Thank you so much! She was very pleased and touched by it. Please pass on thanks to others in the club, also for the piece in the newsletter. It is so nice that she is remembered. As you probably know, her birthday means a lot to my mother and she did have a happy celebration. At the weekend before the 6th March we had a birthday tea party at her house with nearly all the family; despite the atrocious weather we were more than twenty, including three great-grandchildren. The birthday cards then stood on her table until Easter. In the Ballet Club newsletter I read that guests will be welcome at the meeting with Dame Beryl Grey on 18th June. I am hoping to be able to come and look forward to meeting you then”
