Dear All,

A belated Happy New Year to everyone.  Looking forward to making new friends and, of course, loads of lovely singing.

COMING CHOIR EVENTS

There are no immediate choir events although arrangements are underway for the Food Festival, Shaftesbury Fringe and Gold Hill Fair together with a new community event on Castle Hill and, in case you think it had been forgotten, another “Slice of Song” at Amore.  Watch this space.

SHAFTESBURY DEVELOPMENT PLANS

There is information below concerning proposals to develop beyond Shaftesbury’s existing boundaries.  If you want to have your say, then you will need to respond by 22 January.  The actual response forms are difficult to interpret and even more difficult to fill in.  No surprises there of course (!) but as a consequence, a simple guide to some of the questions has been prepared to get us all thinking.   Do take some time to look at the proposals.  Working together really does make a difference – remember our success “Save Our Beds”?  See below ..
