A little bit about the charities we are supporting at this weekend's bash.

The charities: Shelter; a housing and Homelessness charity. LAUNCH which is a year-long project for 16 to 25 year olds from disadvantaged areas of Haringey who show promise in the arts and have expressed a wish to consider theatre as a career.

The Bash: The bash is an interclass competition held to celebrate an upcoming scholar's prize fight. Each attendee be they student or guest, fighter, judge or spectator pays to attend. Every penny, without exception is given to the charities we have chosen. That commitment is made possible by the added generosity of our host venues, who are often willing to provide the space for the event free of charge (in this case Jacksons Lane). This is our way of saying thank you to the community we are part of and in the case of shelter, aid something increasingly vital. If you wish to attend, we will have a few spaces for spectators. PM me for details.

Don't forget that all this week there is no need to bring anything other than protective gear to training. I will be along with flags and sashes to prepare you for the competition. :)
