George's Weekly Round-Up

Posting a bit early this week as it’s Christmas!

There has been a lot of talking about the ‘New Year’ this week, keep an eye on the website http://www.bipp.com/ as it sounds like lots of exciting events will be taking place.

We are closing today for the Christmas holidays and will be back on 3 January 2012.

I plan to go home and eat a lot of Turkey and mince pies followed by a snooze on the sofa!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!

The footage will be aired on the Top of the Pops Christmas Special on BBC2 tonight between 7.30 - 9.00pm.
