Dear All,
Congratulations on a really good sing last night. With luck, the worst of the winter weather is now behind us and we’ll soon be up to full strength. Can you check your diaries for the Motcombe Fete on Saturday 16th June? Even though we will probably be singing much of the same programme, with Shaftesbury Fringe / Gold Hill Fair only a fortnight later, we don’t want anyone to feel overloaded. Details of venues / programme / times etc. will follow in due course.
COMING CHOIR EVENTS
Sunday 13 May Shaftesbury Food Festival
Saturday 16 June Motcombe Fete
Fri 29 June – Sun 1 July Shaftesbury Fringe (probably on the Saturday) and Gold Hill Fair (on the Sunday)
Arrangements are also underway for our traditional “Slice of Song” at Amore together with a new community event on Castle Hill (probably in October). Watch this space as details are firmed up.
