Please bear with us whilst we try to work out what - if anything -we can offer this term. We know that kids love coming to NMYP. However, we have taken the decision that we would rather run no meetings than bad meetings. If we have to limit our members in what they are doing so much that attending meetings becomes a slog rather than an enjoyment then we would rather not be running!<p>
Currently we are waiting for the venues we usually use (particularly Brookmans Park School and the community centre) to let us know whether they are happy for us to bring 'outsiders' onto their site on a Friday evening.<p>
Currently government guidelines are limiting numbers for clubs like us to 15 at a time. With around 210 members that would mean running 13 youth clubs a week. Clearly unrealistic, even to meet once every other week.<p>
We are going to wait a couple of weeks to see if anything changes with the guidelines for clubs like us now schools have re-opened. Subject to this, and information received from Brookmans Park School and the community centre, we hope to get some sort of provision up and running before half term, but we will only do this if we feel we can offer something the members will enjoy; we don't want to be running NMYP just for the sake of running it!<p>
Please bear with us and if you have any thoughts, comments or suggestions about the above please let us know. Thank you.
