A reminder of 19th May rehearsal - usual place, usual time.
Also, please remember your subs (now £25) if you've not paid, and bring a pen to sign off the new data consent forms (if you didn't manage to do this last rehearsal). There is a new "apologies sheet" for Sept-Dec which will be with the current one. We're going to try a new approach of putting the sheet on/by the coffee counter so you can update it as you queue at the break: we'll see how that goes. The finalised programme for our June and July concerts is as below. First half 148 - The Gift Of Music - Rutter --- - Foggy Day - Gershwin 187 - Wherever You Go - Paul Mealor --- - Jerusalem - arr.
