Hello Everyone,

Unfortunately as you will have already anticipated we will not be starting Argus rehearsals in September. 
It is so disappointing that singing will be at the bottom of the list to start (especially amateur). 

We are booking dates from January - May 2021.  Hopefully they will be able to happen. 

Attached are the minutes from the Zoom committee meeting we had recently.   
We aim to have a Zoom or Teams "speaking get together" for everyone on 5th September at 2pm.
Please join us if you can.  It will be great to see each other, even though it will be remotely. 
In the meantime take care & stay safe (& sane).

Type the first line of a folk song into your phone and then let autocomplete write the second line for you.




I used "As I was going to Strawberry fair" the follow-on was "... last night and the first one was a bit of a mess but I thought it was refried beans."
My second go was "Blow the wind southerly" with the follow-on "... and the snow is going to be so cold today."

I think we can say that the songwriting profession is still safe!

So Judith, how is your freedom from the committee going?
