Another jolly session on Wednesday I thought – it’s really good to see numbers creeping up again. Based on last week’s show of hands we have arranged to sing at the Abbey on the afternoon on Sunday 4 December. More details later but please put this date in your diary now. This coming week, we’ll be meeting in the Town Hall at our usual time of 7.15 for 7.30 and finishing at around 9.00.
Next time we plan to continue The Long and Winding Road and Campfire Song and have a look at Go Placidly (held over from last time) along with Bach Minuet, As I went down in the River to Pray, Chatanooga and Kalyna. As ever, something for everyone I hope. Words for the last three are attached, there are no words for the Bach and the others have been attached over the last couple of weeks. Although we will have some sets of words with us, please do print them out yourselves if you possibly can.

SHORTAGE OF MEN
Being west of the great divide (i.e. Henstridge traffic lights), Milborne Port Opera are desperately short of men for their spring production – Yeomen of the Guard. They are a very friendly group and really would welcome you with open arms. They rehearse on Thursday evenings. Let me know if you’d like contact details.
