Summer of Circus
Greentop has had a wonderful Summer of Circus 2009- and thankyou for being part of it. We doubled our weekly evening class programme, introduced lots of new weekend workshops, Secret Circus, Youth Trapeze, and monthly open days.
Plus we staged 2 touring shows, and were out and about entertaining and educating the masses, meeting new people and having a great time.
Alltogether over 400 new people came to our Circus Centre during June, July and August to sample our classes or watch our shows.
Below is some of the information from a Summer to remember- some of the links may go old and rusty. Check out the Autumn/ Winter '09 programme though- there's even more happening!
