Nice to see everyone last night and remarkable that, for once, we managed to sing everything that we had planned to do. Although last night’s weather possibly made online Zooming preferable to meeting in the Town Hall, don’t forget that if all goes well, non-professional activities (as they call choirs like ours) can, in theory at least, resume from Monday 17th May. This means, of course, that we might just be able to meet on Wednesday 19th so put that date in your diaries NOW and keep your fingers crossed.
ALL ABOUT BEES
We are all invited Planet Shaftesbury’s FREE online talk this evening (Thursday) which is all about bees. It is presented by Bridget Strawbridge, author of “Dancing With Bees”. You can register on https://www.planetshaftesbury.org/event-details/planet-shaftesbury-online-meeting-26.
SINGING FOR HEALTH
Several of us have attended the excellent singing days in Wincanton hosted by the Pilgrim Singers. This year it will be on Zoom and is happening this Saturday, 13th March, 10.30am to 12.30pm. See last week’s flyer – Jane Fenton and the choir really hope that some of us might like to join them.
RED NOSE DAY
A reminder that Gillingham Community Kindness Group have invited us to be part of their project for Red Nose Day – Saturday 20th March. Full details on last Thursday’s flyer – it looks really fun so do make the effort to get involved if you possibly can.
