SPORTS WEEKEND 2008

All Former Pupils, Parents and Friends of Dollar Academy are warmly invited once again to attend Sports Weekend 2008.

The format will be much the same as that of previous years.  Prep School Sports take place on Thursday 19 June in the afternoon.  Junior School Sports will be held in the afternoon of Friday 20 June, with the Senior competitions taking place on Saturday 21 June. 

Fiddler on the Roof is the Senior School Musical.  It will run from Tuesday 17 June to Friday 20 June inclusive at the macRobert Theatre in Stirling.  Tickets can be purchased direct from the theatre ticketline on 01786 466666, when they become available.

The marquee will be situated beside the Maguire Building again this year.  Parents, Former Pupils, Staff and Friends of Dollar Academy will be made very welcome in the marquee throughout the day on the Saturday.  Tea, coffee and biscuits will be served for a small donation, as well as sandwiches and cold drinks at lunch time.  The Pipe Band display will take place as usual before the start of the Senior School Sports.

Supper and Music in the Marquee will be held on Saturday evening of Sports Weekend.  This is a ticket-only event which is open to everyone.  The band this year will be Schwing, a sensational Swing, Jazz, Jive, Classic Pop and Soul Show Band.  Schwing have a client list that stretches across the UK and Europe and are highly recommended by everyone that has seen them perform.

A reply card is enclosed with this edition of Fortunas if you would like to order tickets.  Alternatively, please contact Elaine Gallagher on 01259 742511 or elaine@dollaracademy.org.uk.  Tickets, which will be issued on a first-come-first-served basis, will cost £30 each and will include supper.

The pipe band will perform after the Church Service on the Sunday.  We are sure the display will be as wonderful as ever, and this year we hope it will take place in glorious sunshine.

This is a marvellous opportunity to meet up with friends old and new.  If you have not been back to Dollar for a while, we would be particularly pleased to see you.
