Beyond the Camera 31 cancelled! The damage to St Andrew's College caused by the Christchurch earthquake in February, has caused the cancellation of BTC31 from April 17 to 23 as well as BTC Beginners. We are all very sad here at BTC, but we must face reality. At this stage we cannot give a date for BTC31, but please keep visiting this site or our Facebook page. If you have enrolled and paid money you will receive a letter soon and a refund. Simon Williams, BTC Director.

Your script should:
