Hello all, Hope everyone is well and enjoying the improving weather. So, we have had a smattering of sectional rehearsals, learning a bit of a couple of songs that Dave is looking to perform in the Autumn. Now we would like to try to put things back together. Ongoing regulations mean that we cannot all meet, even outside, and sing…… Read more →

Any more for any more? New players especially welcomed. You should allow 90 minutes as this time we are actually going to score…… Read more →

Hello all, hope you are still hanging in there as we start to emerge from our bunkers.
