Hiya Sarah

thanks

Hi Sarah
Sorry not to get back to you yesterday. Am rehearsing really long days this week so am a bit incommunicado. However, will be on email late tonight. If you want to drop me an email with exactly what you're after (age, type etc) I'll try and get some suggestions sent over to you.
Hope all well.
Matthew
Sarah - this sharing day at The Sherman - is it the sort of thing that would be useful for me to be at? If so do I need to reserve a place ( is it possible to be an observer??)
Hi Sarah,
Unfortunately I only just picked up your message saying that it would be fine to just turn up to the meeting at WMC today so I didn't come along - argh, I am annoyed with myself now! Hope it went well and was productive. I will look at the forum to find out what was discussed/decided upon moving forward. Is it possible to request that I am added to the database of Youth Arts practitioners that has been/is being developed. My email address is francescpickard@gmail.com. Thanks. I look forwrad to meeting you at some point in the future!
Hi Sarah, thanks for your invite to the casting and sorry for the really late reply (I haven't been on this for ages and ages)! I won't be free in feb as I'm doing NTW 'A Provincial Life'. Good Luck with it though and thank you for asking x
Just tried ringing you - left a message x
Sarah, thanks for your lovely message. Would be great to catch up in the new year. I will be back Jan 5, so give me a shout any time after that. x
