1. Intro Iona
Hi everybody and welcome to The Bathgate Academy Charity Concert. As most of you know the aim of you all being here tonight is to raise as much money as we can for The Motor Neurone Disease Association and The British Heart foundation. But along with raising money for these two amazing charities, we would also like to dedicate tonight to remembering the life of Mr Collins, a former teacher from this school who sadly passed away recently.

2. Intro Nicole
As you may have noticed on your way in we are selling raffle tickets and cakes, with all the money raised going to the charities. The raffle will be drawn shortly, so if you haven’t got your tickets yet, be quick! A stall is currently running at the back of the hall where you can purchase a strip for £1! There is also a silent auction running for a signed Hearts football which has been signed by all the recent members of the team so if you would like to bid on that you can do so at any point during the concert.
