Places confirmed for September

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

I have now sent invoices to everyone who has applied for September, confirming their place in the group. However, I know that some emails were going ‘astray’ earlier this week, both to and from my eymg email address. This problem has now been solved, so if you have applied but not had an invoice from me, please get in touch!

Bookings for September

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Thank you  for bearing with me over the website booking problems…I hope everyone who tried to book has now managed to apply. The morning groups are all just about full, but there are still spaces in the Friday afternoon group.

If you used the online booking form successfully, you will have had an initial acknowledgement in the form of a copy sent to your own email address. If you emailed me a Word form you should have had a quick email back from me to acknowledge it. Some seem to have gone astray, so please contact me if you have sent one and not heard form me.

I have not yet sent out official confirmation of places and invoices. Unless you have heard form me individually, you have got the place you applied for.

I still have two big work events coming up, this Saturday and Monday, but am planning to devote next Tuesday and Wednesday, 27th and 28th July, to sending out the confirmations and invoices. So you should hear from me within the next week if you have applied for the groups in September.

Apologies for problems with booking!

Monday, July 12th, 2010

Booking for September started earlier this evening…

Some online forms are coming through fine, but other people are getting a ‘Failed to send’ message. My technical adviser is looking into this urgently. In the meantime, please email me if you are having this problem, and I will email you a Word form to fill in. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Now booking for September to December

Monday, July 12th, 2010

The new booking form is now available on the Book Now page of this website. Good luck and I hope to see you soon.

Booking for September sessions from 12th July (evening)

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

The new booking form for September to December is now ready and will be available on this website from Monday 12th July, but not until early evening, as I will put it up when I get back from work.

Please remember that you will need to login to the site in order to view and use the Application Form on the Book Now page. This means that you will have registered on the site and got a password.  If you are not already registered you can do that any time in preparation: there’s no need to wait until Monday evening! Just click on  Login/Register at the top right of any page.

As usual places will be filled on a first come first served basis.  So I hope to see you soon!

Welcome to the Early Years Music Groups Blog

Thank you to those who have now subscribed to this blog. I’m afraid there were some more teething problems with this new system last week , which meant I was unable to update it.  Hopefully all is running smoothly now. This is where I can update you on any news, including the current booking situation.

The groups are just about full now up to the end of this term , i.e. mid-July. There are still odd spaces in some groups, so please get in touch if you want to come along in the next few weeks (There’s no need to fill in a form at this point). Otherwise, make sure you are on my email list or (preferably)  have subscribed to this blog, to make sure you hear when the new form is ready in July, for booking September groups.

Some groups are now full for April to July

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

Since the new online booking system went live on 26th March, I’ve received over 70 bookings through the website and several by other means. This means that some groups are now fully booked for the summer term. The morning groups are all just about full, with only a few spaces on odd dates. There are still several full places available in the Friday afternoon group. Please fill in a form online with the dates you want, and I will let you know when I can fit you in, and when you will have to wait for a cancellation….or contact me for further information.

Booking is now open for April to July!

Friday, March 26th, 2010

The online booking system went live today, Friday 26th March. Please note that you have to register/login before you can see the application form (Do this by clicking the link at the top right of any page on the site where it says Login/Register). At the moment people are not getting their automatic emails as promised, but this issue will be resolved as soon as possible. I can’t fix it myself but am in contact with the man who can! Please bear with me: I am assured it will be easier for everyone in the long run. Your application forms are getting through.

Mailing system is nearly ready!

Monday, March 22nd, 2010
As you may have heard, I am making my first attempt at online and email booking this time, for sessions starting after Easter.
 
You can’t yet book, but I’m hoping that the online application form for April to July will be ready  by this Friday 26th March.
 
When the site is ready, you will need to register as a member on the Home page, in order to complete the online application form on the ‘Book Now’ page, or download the Word version of the form to complete and return by email or post.      

If you apply online, you won’t send any money to start with. You will receive an ‘automatic’ email reply, acknowledging your application. Then within a week you should receive my invoice by email, confirming your place and how much you are due to pay. You will be able to choose whether to pay online (through Paypal) or to send a cheque/pay in person.

I’ll still be sending out a few forms by post for those who don’t use email - I’ll do this a day or two before the form goes online, to give everyone a fair chance. Groups will fill up as usual on a first come first served basis. 

Please bear with me if it doesn’t all go smoothly this first time: I will be trying my best, in conjunction with Dan Tipple, who is working very hard to set up the new system. Do get back to me with any queries in the meantime.

Audio clips are coming

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

The new updated eymg website allows for more flexibility and fun! I am at last able to upload audio clips… Here’s  my first attempt: the Shaker Song we sometimes use in the groups. It was written by Wendy Prevezer, sung here and recorded with the help of my friend and colleague Roma Seth.
