nyro recorder days

Are they worth going to for younger kids? DS is too young to go to the summer or easter camp but old enough to go to one of the playing days.

Yes, we went to one when Mini was 7, and had a good time. They had a just-9 year old who'd been on the Easter course, and suggested Mini came along to the next one, when she would have been 8.5. So the age limit (which I read somewhere as 10+) isn't always strictly imposed. We didn't send her in the end - we felt she was just that bit young to stay away at the time, but will do in the future, if she doesn't get into NCO again (or gets too old). They can do NYRO until they are 25.

I didn't know of them before, but just looked at their website.

I think players need to be Grade 3 or above, but I don't know if that is rigidly enforced.

Dc is g5 so should be okay on the playing ability - it's just thay dc's only just 9 and shy and I wasn't sure if it'd be full of teenagers.

You can stay, if that helps. There were several children younger than that on the one we went to. And lots of teenagers.
