Numbers were a little down on Wednesday, which was only to be expected really, but we had a really good sing and Ukrainian Bell Carol, No Small Wonder and Christmas is Coming were all sounding great by the end of the evening. Our carol singing for the Thursday Farmers’ Market was also great fun – photo attached – and the seasonal refreshments at the Arts Centre afterwards much appreciated. We are now having a couple of weeks off before we recommencing on 8th January when we will have only this ONE rehearsal to prepare for our performance at The Exchange.
Have a very happy Christmas everyone.
