Distressed at proposed closure
4:52pm Thursday 29th November 2001
I was distressed to read the article on the plans which could lead to the closure of the BYMT. I have supported the BYMT over many years and our three children have all attended the orchestras and bands.
The BYMT has been (and still is) hugely important in our lives.
The dedicated staff at the centre work very hard to achieve such high standards and they deserve better than this sort of threat.
You have my total support.
