NCO 2027

[DeafLeppard]

Out of the blue we got an acceptance email for NCO Weeks for 2027 - last year we didn't hear anything until October!! Has anyone else got an email? We've never done Weeks before - DC has never actually been away from home for that long and he'll be super nervous. Also HOW MUCH??

Whereas my son got on the Midlands weekend on percussion at grade 3 at age 10, after just a year of playing percussion officially (he had done piano and drums previously and was grade 5 drumkit)

Wait - THIS Friday? Blimey that's tight. Although I guess anyone applying for a bursary effectively gets an extension on that.

Given that my kid isn't expecting to hear his result until the end of October, I'm wondering about holding off on telling him just in case a place comes through in the meantime. I'd rather give him good news (if we are lucky enough to get it) rather than news that leaves him still in limbo!

To indicate whether to accept the offer will be this Friday, while the deadline to pay for the membership or applying for bursary will be before 9am Monday 5th October.
