Activity Day Sat 16 Sept at Invertrossachs Activity Centre
Arrive at 10am and pick up between 4pm and 4.30pm
Everyone should bring a towel and a change of clothing as you will probably get wet on the water. We're not sure what the weather will be like but would advise waterproofs or other suitable clothing and footwear. Lunch will be provided but if you want a snack you'll have to provide it as there is no Tuck Shop.
Getting there: The site is reached from Callander town
centre by taking the A81 Glasgow road then, at a mini-roundabout, bearing right
on a minor road signposted Invertrossachs. The road beyond the junction at
Gartchonzie Bridge is a single track ‘No Through Road’, and is public as far as
the estate lodge gates. There is a barrier here which is padlocked. The code to
open this is 1900. Please ensure it is locked again behind you after
passing through. If it is open, please drive through but stop and lock it after
you.
Proceed
along the private road carefully for approximately 2 km. This
section of road is normally very busy with walkers and cyclists, so please
observe the 20 m.p.h. speed limit.
The exact
location is pinpointed here on google maps. The PostCode FK17 8HG for SatNav
identifies the cottages of the tiny village of Invertrossachs which is another
2km along the loch-side road.

Firstly, can I record my appreciation to everyone who was at yesterday's rehearsal. They all worked their socks off and made a big difference to the numbers we were rehearsing.
With 5 weeks to go before we are in the theatre everyone needs to learn their words and watch the videos. Please look at where you are in each number and where you move to. Music for The Opening should be sent out later this week.
By Sunday we need to have your Activity Day permission form so that we have final numbers and so ensure we have sufficient instructors for each activity.
Also by Sunday we need to know if you can help with the Bucket Collection at Morrison's on Saturday 2 September. You could email Scott Park or let us know on Sunday. We need a good turnout at each of the time slots. Uniform and your red necker to be worn.
This week's rehearsals :
Saturday 26 Sept
Junior Gang 4pm - 5.30pm
Sunday 27 September
Main Gang 2pm - 6pm The Opening (setting)
Please arrive in time to start rehearsing at 2pm.
