Massage in Schools Scotland

The 2007 AGM for MISP members in Scotland will be held on

Saturday 29th September

Just a quick update to let you all know that the meeting on Saturday 29th September 2007 will be held at the King Robert Hotel, Bannockburn, Stirling.

Everyone who is on the membership database will be receiving a letter from me in the next week (all being well with the post!) and I look forward to receiving your replies soon after.

If you have changed schools/moved house or just aren’t sure if you’re on the database, please drop me an e-mail with your details so that I can keep you up-to-date.

Many thanks!
