Dear All  I have been gently reminded (thank you Chris!) that we usually gather for a little social session before the first rehearsal of term begins and we definitely want to do that this year.  So please bring a bottle of whatever you fancy to the church and some spare plastic cups if you have them and we’ll have a…… Read more →

Dear All  We hope you are all feeling refreshed after the summer and are looking forward to rehearsals starting again tomorrow (Tuesday 14th September): 19:45- 21:30 at Christchurch.

You will likely need to log in again, and any old bookmarks may not work and need to be updated. Hi all, some of you may have encountered a strange message about a security certificate when you have tried to log on to read the wonderful news about singing again. First, there is nothing to worry about. It was a…… Read more →

Dear All I’m delighted to say Christchurch are happy for us to resume rehearsals this term.  Rehearsals will be on Tuesdays from 7:45 – 9:30 as before and term dates will be from 14th September – 14thDecember with a one-week half term on 12th October. Happily, subs will remain the same this term (£70). We plan to continue with the repertoire we were…… Read more →

The funeral…… Read more →

Dear All Tricia came up with an excellent idea – we might not be able to rehearse together, but luckily we can all have a drink together in the garden. So if you’d like the chance to catch up with other choir members please come to 35 Deanhill Road, SW14 7DQ on Tuesday 29th June from 7:30pm. May I ask…… Read more →

Dear All Sadly, after this evening’s announcement, it’s not looking promising for the remainder of our rehearsals this term (last one was due to be on 29th June). We’ll keep an eye on guidance in case this changes. No rehearsal tomorrow. Do write to your MP to make your feelings known and don’t forget the petition if you haven’t already…… Read more →

Dear All This is your weekly reminder to hassle your MPs to try to get the guidance for choirs changed. Don’t forget to sign the petition too (two posts below). There has been no change to guidance so no rehearsal this week (8th June). We had rehearsals planned until 29th June so not giving up just yet and will keep…… Read more →

Unfortunately, there has been no change as yet to DCMS guidance restricting rehearsals for amateur choirs. We did not have a rehearsal planned for this week (1st June) anyway as its half term, but we will continue to monitor the guidance and let you know if there is any change ahead of next week, 8th June. As before, please do…… Read more →
