Time after Time was launched in March and here is our first e-newsletter to keep you up to date with the progress of this unique project which is taking place across Bath & North East Somerset this year. If you are a school reading this then you should have received details either via the B&NeS internal schools email service or the information leaflet sent from the Golden-Oldies office, which is based in the village of Farmborough near Bath. Joy Fraser is the project manager working for the Golden Oldies charity on Time after Time.

The project is the brain child of “Goldies”, as it has become known, the charity that is bringing music and social interaction to hundreds of elderly people across the West of England. Time after Time in 2010 will take place in the Bath and North East Somerset Council area.

Following the launch in March, we have already had enthusiastic responses from these schools; St Gregory’s Catholic College, St Mark C of E School, Broadlands School, Hayesfield School Technology College, Wellsway School, Kingswood School, Royal High School, Trinity C of E Primary, Freshford C of E Primary, Farmborough C of E Primary, St Stephens C of E Primary, Saltford C of E Primary, Combe Down C of E Primary, Marksbury C of E Primary, Midsomer Norton Primary, Moorlands Infants School, Widcombe C of E Primary, High Littleton C of E Primary, St Martins Garden Primary School, St Julians C of E Primary and Three Ways Special School.
