Corps Director Change

Unfortunately Ian Lyall stepped down from his position as Corps Director last week, the chairman, on behalf of the committee, would like to thank Ian for all his endeavours over the last few months and wish him all the best.

With regards to this situation the committee sat on Wednesday, the outcome of the meeting was to invite David Pope to take the position, which he accepted. David was previously Corps Director during the 2004 & 2005 seasons.

He will also take responsibility for the additional areas that the organisation is pursuing to widen our activity base, these already include a competitive winter drumline and senior pit ensemble. More diversity is planned including the opening of a Music and Dance Academy, to teach younger members, without the restrictions a competitive season puts upon them and allow them to progress at there own speed, with the eventual aim of moving to one or more of the other activities we offer.

With regards to the main corps, the intention is for it to return to competitive competition in 2007, more news of which will follow shortly. We are currently seeking staff and performers for all our activities, so if you would like to be part of the future that is Southern Aurora please contact david on 07737 400481 or e-mail him at director@southernaurora.org.uk
