The next rehearsal venue is at St Andrew’s Church, Church Lane, Shottery, CV37 9HQ
In order to ensure that our final concert has a strong and balanced choir, we would like to get a firm commitment from you now for the B Minor Mass concert on 7 October.
We have also been considering how to celebrate the 38 years of wonderful music. We have agreed that it won’t be appropriate to hold an event on the evening of the final concert so we are proposing that we have a Sunday lunch together, on the 8 October, and we have provisionally booked the whole of the Baraset Barn in Alveston.
We anticipate that a three-course lunch would cost approximately £45 (less for two courses). However, we have to let the Baraset Barn know if we wish to go ahead by the end of February. So we need to know how many people would be interested in joining in by 24 February.
And finally, you have been asked to keep the 26 August free for an Evensong in Ilmington. Many of you will be aware that this Evensong will also celebrate the marriage of Julian and his fiancé Paul which will have taken place earlier in the summer. Invitations to this event will be reaching you all shortly. Again, in order that we can ensure a balanced choir, we would like you to sign up for this service now.
Please click on this link to register your commitment to all three events.
