Wednesday the 4^th September 2024 is the date you need in your diary to ensure that you are with us for the first rehearsal of the new season.

Please try and be at the Minster a little earlier so that scores can be organised ready for a prompt rehearsal start. The necessary AGM will take place a little later in the evening after some singing. If you have your own copy of a Watkins Shaw edition of Messiah it would be very helpful if you could bring that with you.

Papers for the AGM will be circulated nearer the time but until then we hope that you enjoy your summer.

The Annual General Meeting of the Society – and the first rehearsal of our 75th Season – will take place on Wednesday 6th September 2023, starting at 7.30 p.m. in Sunderland Minster. Please attend promptly so that new scores can be organised.

The Agenda, previous minutes and annual accounts are available to read/download below to enable you to consider them before the meeting.

There will no rehearsals on the following dates :

Wednesday 22^nd March

Wednesday 29^th March

Wednesday 5^th April

Wednesday 12^th April

Hope that you enjoy Easter and look forward to seeing everyone on our return on Wednesday 19^th April 2023. It would be very helpful if you arrive a little early on the 19^th to enable scores for the new work to be distributed.

If you need any more publicity for our next concert then please find below copies of the A5 Flyer and both sides of the postcard.

The attached pdf file is a draft document produced after discussions within the Committee and is now being shared for everyone in the Society to have the opportunity to make comments or suggest additions. Four weeks are available for you to pass your comments either directly to Mike Foster or to your Section Rep to share with the Committee. After that time the Committee will finalise the plan taking into account all of your comments.
