PRSC joins Facebook

There's another new development at the PRSC this week with the creation of our very own Facebook page.

We know that Facebook is hugely popular with many of our users (and all the Sports Complex staff of course!) and we thought it was about time we had our own page.

Take a look at the page and click to become a fan of the PRSC.

If you're not yet a Facebook user, you'll need to sign up to become a fan.

We've already added several photo galleries to the page, including a bit of nostalgia with photos of the construction of the building and our opening by HRH The Princess Royal back in 2002.

The PRSC Facebook page offers us another chance (in addition to our blog and website) to keep all our users informed of what is going on at the Sports Complex as well as helping us to promote all the sports clubs and societies that use our facilities each and every week.

Performing Arts School launches 8 May

Regular users of the PRSC could well be forgiven for wondering if we were planning on changing our name to the Princess Royal Arts Centre.

Last week it was Carmina Burana in the sports hall and from May our fencing salle will the home of a brand new Performing Arts Theatre School.

The new School is the brainchild of Andrew Brodie, himself an actor in his younger days, who already runs maths and English classes out of the Sports Complex.

Joining Andrew for the classes will be former Wellington School pupils, dancer teacher, Emma Smith  and musician, Chris Sampson.

The class is aimed at 11 to 18 year olds and will offer children the chance to dance, sing and perform and have fun of course. It will run on Friday evenings from 5.00 - 8.00 pm.

More details on the new School are available from Andrew at AB Education on (01823) 667 726.

 

Successful first concert at PRSC

There was a first for the Sports Complex this weekend as we hosted our very first music concert.

Wellington School's Choral Scoiety performed Carl Orff's Carmina Burana with a professional orchestra and a choir made up of hundreds of teachers, pupils, former pupils, parents and friends.

Well over 400 people came to watch the event, which saw the Sports Complex and our next door neighbour - the Alan Rogers Centre - transformed into a concert venue for the evening.

The success of the event will almost certainly lead to an annual return for the School's Choral Society and more events in the future at the PRSC.
