This will culminate with rehearsals and concerts on Sunday 30th May at the Museum of East Anglian Life for which tickets are on sale from the Tourist Information Office at the Museum.

SOR Consultation Delayed |

SCC have announced that the consultation on the proposed changes to two tier schools for Bury St Edmunds, Thurston, Stowmarket and Stowupland areas will be delayed. This is due to the uncertainty of funding with the DCSF being unable to provide information on capital allocations for 2011 onwards. They say they still intent to implement the change as soon as resources are available. See here for statement from Phil Whiffling, SOR Project Lead.
