<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>NOT ATTENDING? PLEASE LET US KNOW</b><br></font>
<br><table><tr><td><img src="http://www.nmyouth.org.uk/images/attendance.jpg"></td><td>A reminder to PLEASE let us know if your child is not going to be at a meeting. It is very frustrating for everyone when large numbers do not turn up without warning. For example,  on Fri 30th November just 14 members came along to the second session out of the 80 or so on the books. This meant that some of the parents who had changed their plans to come and help were not needed which is quite embarrassing. <b>Please, if you are aware of events such as birthday parties or school events which mean a significant number of young people may be missing our meetings we would be really grateful if you could tell us in advance and don't assume someone else is, we would rather know twice than not at all.</b> Thank you!</td></tr></table>

<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>DO YOU LIKE BUILDING STUFF?</b><br></font><br>We are hoping to build (gravity powered!) gokarts with year 5 (Feb 1st) and year 6 (Jan 18th) next term but are after some parents who have the practical skills to come and help! We want the young people to do all the building etc, but will need parents who are comforTABLE with drills, hammers, saws etc to come and help supervise and keep them safe. If you feel you would be able to help with either or both sessions please let James know.
