Rhym- Resident participants
MORETON HALL campus is based around an Elizabethan
hall set in 125 acres of parkland, which over the years has been the subject
of an extensive building programme. There is a heated swimming pool
(outdoors), Sports Hall with fitness suite, a floodlit all weather surface,
floodlit tennis provision, a nine-hole golf course and a fully equipped ICT
centre. .Accommodation can be provided in either single and double
en-suite bedrooms or a choice of dormitory accommodation all decorated to a
high standard. Moreton
Hall itself is reserved for resident participants and tutors: most of the very spacious bedrooms are shared
between 3 or 4 participants; we have only a some single bedrooms, we
usually give the largest shared bedrooms to young people and to families sharing and the double bedrooms to
couples; We do not allocate single bedrooms to under 18. There
are 5 halls of residence –each with its age’s category Adults, may also be accommodated at Moreton Hall
School at the rate of £40 (board and lodging) per day. This fee comprises the
use of the sporting facilities. All applications must be made in advance. We must however emphasize that Moreton Hall is
not a hotel (no double beds, and there are more showers than bathtubs!) Meals:
particular care will be taken to provide balanced and enjoyable menus - full
English breakfast, « continental » dishes for lunch and dinner, varied
salads, and a choice of English desserts. Vegetarian meals are on offer. In addition, there will be a
short pause in the afternoon for tea for those who would like this extra
refreshment! the Peter Pan group is given
tea and elevenses (milk apple juice, biscuits and fruits) are taken
next to Arlette’s office whenever needed Facilties Most halls of residence have got kitchens and facilities to prepare
teas or coffees There is a fee paying nursery organized by Moreton Hall (not by us!)
and children under 4 can be welcomed for as little as 1 hour up to several
hours. £4.50 per hour. New on the course! There is a laundry service (but all clothes given
must be marked There are 6 tennis courts Organisation Both
types of participant are assigned to one of 4 groups: 1.
T he adult over-18’s group, 2.
The « junior » 12 to
17-year-old group, the junior groups are supervised and given active and
positive support by trained staff. 3.
The Peter Pan Group (17 accompanied children maximum)
4 to 10 year olds The junior group members will have to conform to the basic rules
and regulations of Moreton Hall school and LMFL. The Peter Pan Group accompanied by a parent will be under the constant
supervision of their parent(s) but still will have to follow the bed time
hours for each age group. Junior students in possession of a written
authorisation from their legal guardian/parents will be authorised to leave
the school premises in the afternoon/evening without supervision – a
copy must be sent by mail before the start of the course. We want to emphasize that we do not favour this kind of authorization. Nevertheless
if the course directors feel that the junior student abuses that authorisation
and puts himself (herself) at risk, the authorization will be cancelled. This is not negotiable. Senior group participants are not affected by the above arrangement
but, nevertheless, in cases of anti-social behaviour senior participants will
be asked to leave the course and the premises without any refund
possible. Any decision on a disciplinary issue is the sole responsibility of the
Course Director. Social life
The LMFL Moreton Hall summer courses have
as their objectives - Creating a highly
motivating musical atmosphere for all participants, and - Encouraging social
interaction between all in order to give each student the feeling of
belonging to one big musical family. Social life evolves mainly around music making,
evenings busy with our teachers and advanced students giving solo
performances or chamber music concerts. There are several pubs and conveniances stores
within walking distance from Moreton Hall, and for those with their own
transport the neighbouring town of Oswestry
is 5 minutes ride General Information 1. We suggest that participants obtain a certificate of
insurance against civil liability, theft, and physical injury and send it
with the final payment. 2. We particularly draw your attention to the need to insure musical
instruments as well (loss and theft).
3. Students normally resident outside the European Union should hold
medical insurance. 4. Use of all sports equipment at the school is free. 5.
The number
of resident participants is limited by the number Moreton Hall can
accommodate. Registration of non-resident participants may also be limited in
order to ensure high standards of teaching and an enjoyable working
atmosphere. 6.
Applications
will be treated on a first come first served basis. 7.
You
can only insure your place by paying the full fees 8. We were filled up to maximum capacity in Summer 2007 and had to refuse 40 requests for registrations, so we recommend early registration -it will start in September 2007 . 9.
For those coming from far away it is possible to rent double
basses 8. Nevertheless, the Course Directors reserve the
right to cancel the course if the number of applicants is deemed to be too low
3 months before the starting date of the course. In this instance, the total
amount already paid will be refunded in full and no other type of
compensation will be given. 9. If a participant decides to cancel after the 1stMay,
the registration fees (£500) shall not be refunded. If cancellation takes
place after the 1st June, no refund of the minimum registration
fees or total fees will be possible. 10. The balance of fees is due on or before 1st June 2008 after which date any reserved accommodation not paid for in
full will be re-let. 11. We strongly recommend that you take out insurance to
cover cancellation costs. 12. Moreton Hall has a very strict indoors
non-smoking policy. Anyone
breaking this rule in their bedroom or in the common rooms will be asked to
leave the course and there will be no refund of fees. |
