2020vision Merchants Connected ArchivesMusic and Drama 100 Club
You are most warmly invited to join the 100 Club to help raise funds to support the music and drama activities at MTS. The Club launched in September 2005 and holds draws in the Autumn Term, Spring Term and the Summer Term, and each time three lucky winners receive a prize of £50, £35 or £15 with an additional bonus in the Summer of £100.
The MTS Music & Drama 100 Club is a society lottery which raises funds to support activities and to fund equipment essential to the successful and enjoyable performance of music and drama in the boys senior and junior schools. It's a simple and inexpensive way to show support for the boys and your appreciation of the tremendously high standards to which they perform in the arts.
The annual membership is just £16 a year, starting in September, however if you want to join up now and be eligible for the Summer Draw, including the special bonus draw, you can do that for just £8.
To join, please complete the appropriate form. If you wish to join the current year, please provide your payment, since the standing order date for this year is now past. If you simply want to join from next September, please complete the form and the standing order mandate and return via the Music Department at MTS.
Thank you for your support and best of luck to all members.

Music and Drama 100 Club Report 2011
Although there have been no new purchases this year, the Music and Drama 100 Club committee have still been very active. Committee members have been present at all the Music and Drama events over the past year promoting the 100 Club.
Again, we are pleased to report that membership is growing steadily, but of course new members are more than welcome! Membership fee is still just £16 a year, and obviously the more members we have the more equipment we are able to buy. Application forms are available to download or for further details please contact Dr. Gill or Mr. Holroyd.
As my son has now left Merchant Taylors' (hoping to study drama) I have decided to retire. After being involved for several years I am very sad to be handing over the Club, but I know it will be in safe hands. Vicci Harrocks, Jill O'Haloran and Nicola Meadows have all very kindly agreed to run the club, so please do not hesitate to contact them if you require any information.

Music and Drama 100 Club Report 2010
The Music and Drama 100 Club committee are delighted to announce that we have purchased a clavinova for the Music Department. All those who supported the Drama Department by attending the wonderful performances of Jesus Christ Superstar will have already experienced David Holroyd performing on this excellent addition.
The costume department was again headed by Mary Shaw. She ensured that everything ran smoothly with regard to costumes, and she kept the cast supplied with plenty of cookies!!
Parents also assisted Mrs. Plummer in the make-up department, I didn't recognise by son with his paint on.
