Making Waves at the Premiere

Well done everyone for Tuesday night! What a great celebration of our First Birthday! For those who missed it, the KYSPA First Birthday Bash comprised of a Limousine ride (pics to be posted shortly), a party and then a showing of some of our films. Mixed in with the films were performances by Tia and Katie, a dance piece and a solo performance of "On my own" by Jodie. Oh, and I put in an appearance too but we won't dwell on that!

The highlight & finale of the evening was the showing of the YoMo DVD from our residential at Lindridge House. This was a genuine premiere as no-one (not even me) had seen it before. I think we're all pretty pleased with the film - thanks to steve et al for all their hard work!

The YoMo DVD contained a good selection of pics, a few of which I have included below.


Action Plan in progress!



Strange goings on!
The infamous "KYSPA" shot!

First Birthday Party

Film Premiere – the final arrangements!

Due to availability issues we MUST undertake dress/tech rehearsals on Tuesday (better late than never). Therefore, please come to the Youth Space at 4.30pm on Tues.

Please bring a contribution of party food or drink.

We will rehearse the dances, practice the intro speeches and check the equipment is working.

The upstairs room will be available for changing & getting “made up” for the party/Limo ride between 6pm and 7pm

We NEED the £5 Limo contribution on Tuesday ; KYSPA’s finances are too hard-pressed to afford non-payment for this activity though we can consider instalments for families with more than one member.

DO NOT leave the event without helping to tidy up! I don’t want to be tidying into the small hours of the morning!

There will be a short piece about KYSPA on Radio Cornwall on Tuesday at 3.45pm.
