Children's news: Musical workshops for kids (26 Jan)

One exciting announcement for 2025 is that l’Académie des Petits Musiciens  (https://academiedespetitsmusiciens.com)  will be coming to the club regularly: two Sundays a month for a 1.5hr workshop for 3-7 year-olds (as they have previously) during the school year. It will be tied with the English Breakfast and Sunday Brunch so if there is a breakfast or brunch, there will be a music class (but not during the school holidays).
The arrangement is that if a child is signed up for the breakfast or brunch (costing €9 in advance) together with a parent (costing €18 in advance) they have free access to the 1.5 hr class. If you don’t want to sign up for the breakfast/brunch, it is €25 per child for the class and payment will be via HelloAsso.
The first class for 2025 will be on Sunday 26 January in the Bridge Room and then on 9 Feb. (We were too slow to arrange for this Sunday.) Basically, there will be a workshop if there is a brunch or breakfast during the school calendar.
