Attached to this post is a pdf file of the three-fold publicity material for our Singing Day on Saturday February 9th 2019. Once you have downloaded the pdf file it is best printed out by setting it to be printed on both sides and then ‘flip on short edge’ – to get everything the right way up.

Please try to be there early enough to have received your new score in time to start promptly. Also money for score hire should be correct as no change is available and in an envelope marked with your name.
We look forward to seeing you then.
In the interests of everyone’s safety it has been decided that the rehearsal tonight (28.2.2018) is cancelled. We look forward to seeing everyone next week.
We will be circulating messages but if you are in contact with any other members then please could you ensure that they know. Thank you.
