Dear All
Great fun last night I hope you agree. As you know, our next public performance is not until early September so we will be taking a break from revising our summer song set for a few weeks and concentrating instead on learning a few news ones as well as revisiting some old favourites. Next week we are planning to sing: Bela Mama, Listen, Riverside, Hippopotamus Song, In My Life, I Will Follow Him, Senzeni Na.
A reminder, too, that there will be NO CHOIR ON WEDNESDAY 28th AUGUST. Please make a note of this in your diaries/ planners. I think this is possibly the first time in almost ten years that we have taken a break other than at Christmas / New Year. Make the most of it – it’s not likely to happen again.
COMING CHOIR EVENTS
Saturday 7 September Singing at Castle Hill Garden party. More details later.
Saturday 14 September Entertainment for the Shaftesbury-Brionne Exchange. St Peter’s Church. More details later.
… and looking further ahead
Sunday 15 December We have been asked whether we’d like to join the Motcombe Christmas Procession. 5.00 – 7.00 p.m. More details later … much later.
POSSIBLE CHOIR OUTING
This will probably be postponed until early autumn.
