Write to the editor

I would like to thank you for the article in last week’s GulfWeekly about the May Queen competition. I was one of the runners-up and unfortunately my name was incorrectly spelt. I was hoping to save your article for my parents to read. I would appreciate it if you can rectify the mistake.

Editor’s note: Apologies Joanna and congratulations on reaching the final of the Indian Club’s May Queen contest.

THE time has come when the results for the GCSE and A Level exams will soon be upon us and some will be disappointed with the outcome of their work, and will feel that their dreams are farfetched.

I WAS appalled to read in last week’s GulfWeekly that talented children here were not given the chance to audition for the Von Trapp family roles in The Sound of Music which will be staged as part of the Bahrain Summer Festival.

The producers have ignored our kids in favour of youngsters from Dubai, so perhaps we should ignore their show.

This is one disgusted parent who will not be buying tickets.
