NEWSFLASH: TREE-O make it through to the semi-final of Idol 2008

2008-09-06T22:50:00.003+01:00

During the summer holidays three of the senior girls entered the national talent competition Idol 2008. They where lucky enough to get a place and on Saturday 6th September they performed in the first heat in Bedford. They made the dance up entirely by themselves and were good enough to get through to the Live Semi final in Ipswich.

This is a live show and the audience vote for the acts they want to go through to the televised final in Portsmouth. Consequently we need to get as many people there to support them as possible to this end we are hiring a 72 seater coach and have secured tickets. We need as many people as possible to come along on 19th October leaving MTC at 11am. More details can be found in the letter here.
