Tuesday 26th June 2018, 6.30pm start.
No booking required.
Parking usually a nightmare due to lack of space in school and restricted street parking. If you need to drive it's wise to arrive early. Or park at St Mary's car park - 10 minute walk.

Perhaps the Ilford minibus company will put on a special service for the occasion? Rates looking for somewhere to park and never takes longer than am hour to get there :) .

Hi Souvik, I am not aware of any have ever been set up, I might be wrong. However, I don't think it will be necessary as information from school is usually very clear and these boys have to learn to be independent and should inform their parents about what's going on. One or few things might be missed by these boys, but I guess it is part of their learning :-)

Are there locations from which travel to both is feasible? I'm guessing the school doesn't realise there are or would have avoided the clash.

Someone in Colchester has posted elsewhere that they have been allocated their 4th preference, SHSB, so presumably anywhere from Foulness to Ipswich?

Possibly Chelmsford or Braintree area?

Can see how Chelmsford might work. Worth pointing out to the school for future planning.
