  • Sorry, I just realised this looks pretty sinister in an online forum context! <div><br></div><div>I am a local resident (who is also a piano teacher and primary school teacher) who is hoping to find some people to take part in the above project...<div><br></div><div>Not looking to cull any singletons (who I'm sure most of whom are far from sad).
