I would like to invite you to the Doodle poll “Platinum Jubilee”

7th February 2022Lins EmailsChris K

Hi All
I did mention at choir about singing at Botley for the Platinum Jubilee. They will have a big Stage setting so we need to have enough support to make a good sound to show off the New Music Makers. Saturday 4th June 2022 High Street Recreation Ground Botley
They intend to have live music all day ending in fireworks at 10.00 pm. You can take a picnic and stay all day or just stay for the singing the choice is yours. They music will start at 3.00 and they said that they thought that local choirs etc would be better at the beginning possibly 4.00pm to be confirmed.
As you probably are aware this is a bank holiday weekend and there probably will be lots of events going on or in fact you may want to go away so it would be appreciated if you can make a definite commitment so that we can let the organiser know if we are available or not. We don’t want to get there and not be able to put on a good performance and we need a balanced choir. What would be worse if we have to cancel at the last minute. They want us to sing for about 45 mins.
Thanks Lin

So get learning folk!

Hi All

Sending on it sounds like fun.

Hi Lin,

Jenny Sutton from my previous choir, Twyford & Shawford has sent me this & wondered if anyone from our choir would be interested in attending. I obviously used to go to these & they are fun & an enjoyable day out.

Many thanks

Jennie Soley

Hello Jennie, herewith our flyer for MFL! I know you won’t be able to come but if you could forward to your singers? They might like to dress up for the day ( or not!) and bring a sandwich, to sing all the best songs from the show!

CHANGES IN GUIDANCE

3rd February 2022Lins EmailsChris K

Hi All

We have changed things slightly to accommodate the new rulings and taking choir members response to the recent emails sent out to you. If anyone is not happy with any of the new plans then please feel free to contact me or a committee member and we will do our best to accommodate your concerns. For example if you would like to sit further apart then we can adjust the seating plan to be able to make you feel more comfortable.

I will no longer be sending this information out each week so please keep a copy or make it accessible for you to refer to if necessary. It will also be available to view on the website.

We are doing our best to make everyone have a pleasant experience at choir and to feel as safe as we can.

These new directions will be added to the New Music Makers Risk Assessment.

1. It should be the individual choir members responsibility to NOT attend choir if they have any illness that they think they could pass on to others, including colds, throat infections, viruses etc. even if they have had a negative LFT test.

2. It would still be advised and encouraged that choir members take an LFT before attending a rehearsal.

3. MASKS – can be worn at the choir member discretion. As from the 27th January 2022 “The government “recommends” that people wear face coverings in enclosed or private spaces, but this will be a personal judgement”.

4. VENTILATION – windows at the side and the back of the Hall will be opened and a watch will be kept on the monitor should there need to be any further action.

5. SEATING – The seats will be placed a meter apart from the centre of the chair.

6. These recommendations will be reviewed regularly and will be changed if necessary should things change with the government regulations.

7. If you have tested positive for Covid could you let the Committee know and follow all of the current restrictions and advise from the Government track and trace.

27th January 2022Lins EmailsChris K

Hi All

Thanks to everyone that has responded to the change in guideline email and those that responded to my last email.

There will not be many changes this week as we will have to look at the risk assessment and get that in order by next week but we will be trying out with the windows just slightly opened and keeping an eye on the monitor so hopefully it will not be quite so chilly.

So if we can do all the things that we did last week, that would be appreciated check last weeks email if you are unsure. We have a Committee meeting next week and we will let you know of any more changes.

We are having a split rehearsal between Chris and Lillian this week and next week we are having sectionals.

There is a difference to to the ending of Sweet Caroline but there is no need to print off another copy all will come clear this evening.
