Good turn-out last week – bodes well for our forthcoming jubilee performances at Motcombe on Saturday 4 June and in the Abbey Gardens on Sunday 5 June. Please continue to make every effort to be with us over the coming weeks. We’ll be meeting in the Town Hall again this coming week at our usual time of 7.15 for 7.30 of course and finishing at 9.00. Posh biscuits available but please continue to bring your own drinks.
This week we plan to continue work on our potential programme for the jubilee. (The programme will be more or less the same for both.) We will, with luck, complete You’ve Got a Friend and have a look at Jug of Punch (both held over from last time), polish If there is to be peace and Be Still My Soul and work on Suo Gan*, Plovi Barko*, A Bumper of Good Liquor*, Follow the Heron* and Ghafoor’s Bus* together with I’m Gonna Sing, Sing, Sing as a warm-up. Words of those marked * are attached, the others were either attached to recent e-mails or you won’t need them. Although Julia will have some sets of words with her, please do print them out yourselves if you possibly can. Words of the others, where needed, were attached recently.
