Lovely turn out last night and, of course, great to see new friends from near and far. We were truly international last night. To help those of you who can read the dots, I’m attaching the music for “Covid” which may be of help. We’ve just about completed the song (only a couple of bars at the end still to do) but, as you know, some of Karen’s subtle shifts of harmony take a bit of repetitive practice. But like the virus itself, there‘s definitely light at the end of the tunnel.
CAROL SINGING- Friday 18 and Saturday 19 December - 6.30 pm to 7.30 pm
Although, as a choir, it is not possible organise anything at the moment, we have, as individuals, been invited to take part in the carol singing at Enmore Green when it is hoped that a number of small groups will go round the village. We don’t know about Covid restrictions of course, but the organisers are thinking that it will probably still be a maximum of 6 in each group. Because of this, they do need to know who to expect. If you are interested please get in touch with Jo Churchill on 01747 850432 or jo.churchill@enmoregreen.co.uk (Carol sheets provided, torches suggested). If anyone wants to bring an instrument that is okay too.
LIVING WITH TREES
Don’t forget Robin’s new book. Full details last week.
THINGS TO DO
Although the Arts Centre gallery is closed, there is a new on-line exhibition for the next two weeks. Percy Lizzard and Zara McQueen have made a website to show their latest work. This is the web address www.lizzard-mcqueen.co.uk and you will find a photo attached to this e-mail
Also, Andrea (alto) has a card shop on her website, with cards based on her paintings in mixed packs of six, some suitable for Christmas, others just to send to a friend to make their day! Here’s the link to the page www.andreajenkins.co.uk/greetings-cards and, again, you’ll find a photo attached to this e-mail.
Saturday 12 December The Big Christmas Carol Service with the RSCM and Churches Conservation Trust. As with their other big on-line services, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to join in from home. Do save the date and let me know if you’d like a pdf copy of the music booklet.
