First thing, someone left a red water bottle under their chair last night, and I have it with me at the present.
Secondly,  following on from the announcement last night regarding the Social Evening on the 27th April, I enclose a poster that has all the information on it, so if you and your partners are up for a good laugh and some good food, please let me know as soon as possible.

Hi there,
Just to remind those that are going to the dinner on Saturday that we need the balance paid online into our account so that we do not have to deal with cash on the night, or you can bring the cash tomorrow and give it to Sharon.
The balance is £22.95 per person.
Many thanks
Eric

Rehearsal 7 March

Lins Emails
Hi There,

Firstly, here is a massage from Lillian regarding this week’s rehearsal.
I’m sad to have missed rehearsal last week! I hope to be back this week and I’d like to go through these:
Chili Caliente
Rocketman
Wherever You Are
Someone to Watch Over Me
Matchstalk Men..
To Make You Feel
Rhythm of Life
When You Believe
Shenandoah
Java Jive
Don’t Cry for Me Argentina
Looking forward to it,
Lillian
Secondly, Tony has been doing a sterling job of going through all of our music, and he has produced a list of songs that could either be used in future concerts or as solos etc by you.  If you would like to use one of the pieces of music, contact Tony who will get the copy from our stores. He is now in the process of going through all the Christmas Music.
Talking of Christmas, we are going to be holding a Music Committee Meeting sometime in May to decide on the music for our Christmas concert, so if you have any ideas can you let your rep know.  For your information the reps are as follows:- Hilary Green – Sops, Maggie Jacobs – Altos, Percy Knight – Tenors, Eric Gerrey – Bass.
Thirdly, we are doing a Private Concert for the people at Bitterne URC on Thursday, 25th April, at 2.30pm.  So that Chris has some idea of what songs to use for the concert, he would like to know who will be available, so could you let me know, by email if you are available.
We have 49 going to the dinner on Saturday, which is an increase over the past two years, and I hope you are all looking forward to it.
Also, normally on Maundy Thursday, we have to hold our rehearsal at another venue as the church is used for a Communion Service, but this year the church is holding their service at Woolston, so we can have the hall as normal.
Well, that’s all for now, so I will either see some you at Hamble Heights tomorrow for the Local Vocals, or on Thursday at our rehearsal.
Bye for Now.
Eric
