- Sunday First Show: After the first show finishes approx. 2:30pm children need to be collected from their changing room/meeting area by a parent. Parent helpers will not let the children go until they have sighted a parent. PLEASE don’t come and take the child without letting the parent helper know. Parent helpers please identify yourself to parents coming in so parents know who are looking after the children. Some children were not collected last year between shows this is not fair on the helpers if you can’t be there arrange with another parent for your child to be looked after by them.
