Dear PYO Member

Please note all PYO members that were not at camp should try to get to as many rehearsals as possible to get used to new music.
I am aware that there are many rehearsal commitments at a very busy time with exams etc. Please try to attend as many as possible while still preparing for SQA exams.
Many thanks again.
Yours faithfully
Allan R Young
