Janes Gems for 8th July
- Please check that your Waiting List people are now passing on any queries relating to over 6’s to me. They need to let me have any names that have been added since the lists were sent to me. They can then remove all over 6’s from the Group Lists. Where I have been given information about how long someone has been on your list, that information will be retained and will be one of the criteria for allocating places.
- Could you all please confirm whether your sections will all be full in September. If you will have any spaces in September, please let me know. You need to let Section Leaders know that from now on they need to contact me if they have spaces and want to take people off the Waiting List
