Royal Albert Hall

Sent to Members via email on 15.01.2025

 Further to our email yesterday, Royal Albert Hall have been in contact this morning regarding a cancellation. UMSA were currently on the reserves list for Sunday 21st December. We have therefore rescheduled to this date with it being a late return.

This will hopefully be better as The University will have closed for Christmas and it will also be the school holidays, if families want to attend.

Due to there being very limited tickets, they have requested that UMSA pay by Wednesday 7th May.
