COSTUME RETURNS

Please prepare all costumes to be returned and make sure all parts are together and the costume is hung.
The return must be in person because in many cases the costumes are very precious and often irreplaceable. The return slots will be posted in the next few days.
Please DO NOT pass any costumes directly to the next hirer as you remain responsible for the costume until it is returned. If you hold a costume and you know who the next hirer is, please message Miss Mandy direct to find out how this can be done.

COSTUME HIRES

A new system is being prepared and all the details will be available soon. If you need a costume that you know someone currently has then please message Miss Mandy direct to find out how this can be done.

More info to come! Thank you

It's bonfire night tonight and that means fireworks, so first of all we hope you all have a lovely evening if you're going out to watch a display!

If you are going out, have you made sure your cat is safe and comfortable inside?

Cats have super sensitive hearing, meaning they hear things humans do but a lot louder. In fact, they have one of the widest ranges of hearing in mammals. Bonfire night is not only a noisy and unwelcome celebration – it is a highly unpredictable time. As cats are ceatures of habit, loud bangs and flashes of light take them by surprise, which makes them fearful.

We hope this quick guide will be handy, if you'd like to read more on the subject please visit; https://www.cats.org.uk/help-and-advice/home-and-environment/fireworks

It has been requested that I post my full letter to here! Many messages already!

As I am sure everyone is now aware, I announced my retirement last Friday. If there is anyone who hasn't seen my letter and would like to then do please drop me a message and I will forward it.
I will be keeping this page 'alive' as it contains so much history with photos and posts and achievements and no one can take away what we have all created together. One lovely email received yesterday included "I really hope you are proud of the prodigy that was and will always be Glendale." and I do not want to erase anything.
As there are some lovely things happening at The Studios, we will post these to here to help everything launch but once everything opens in September this will remain a page just for Glendalians and for everything we have done together

Some of our Seniors shaking buckets for the Worthing Lions Charity on Saturday night! The fireworks were SPECTACULAR!

Worthing Lions have been super supportive of us this year, for which we are so grateful!
