What a busy month this has been, We haven't done much advertising but we have been busy else where making ourselves ready for a series of Presentations. We now believe that our Youth Conference will be held at the theatre but this is yet to be confirmed. We have also been busy with some more of our masses of paperwork behind the scenes. Things are still moving on even is you cant see anything happening. so keep listening and keep positive!

What a weird and a month full of chaos what with the Borough council offices burning down. Which doesn't really effect us in many ways but it does in the sense that we now have no where to hold our youth conference.

Other things this month: we have set up a presentation team and already have our first fixture/invite. The presentation consists of four of us and one substitute. The main four are Matt. Dan, Nicki and Jess the substitute is Tom.

Our 1st invite is to 1279 (Melton Mowbray)SQN ATC for a presentation and workshop this is on the 15th July 2008

Despite the fire at the borough council Melton Youth Council is still up and running as normal we are not affected! For more information visit
