Lins Emails
Hi All who are Singing at the RVCP
Attached is the programme, I guess as they have sent one to us we will not get a printed one?  So it might be worth printing one off for yourselves just in case.
I am almost certain we will be wearing the blue sparkly tops anyone who has not got one I will bring on Thursday. And men white shirts lets save the black ones till our concert and sparkly bow tie that were new last time. (Sorry can’t show pic at moment)  Please can you make sure you are there by 6.00 pm with music in a black folder and blue tinsel.  Again I will bring some on Thursday if you do not have any.  Please have a look those that were at the concert last time you will have some somewhere.

Fwd: Singing at Care Home 10th December – Singing for Lights

Lins Emails

 

 

Hi all

 

A few members have expressed an interest in singing at Florence Court Care Home, 243 Segensworth Road, Fareham,  PO15 5EW, on Friday 10th December at 4.30 pm.  Eric has kindly agreed to operate the boombox, and we will be using the carols on the Christmas CD, words to which are attached.  The home is situated on the Segensworth roundabout off Junction 9 of the M27.

 

The weather forecast is not great, but we will be under cover, albeit outside.  Suggest the ladies could wear the grey ponchos and tartan scarves with black trousers, men preferably a black coat.  But if you don’t have them, then wear what you like!

 

Those I believe are attending are please let me know if I have missed anyone:

 

Eric

Beryl

Sharon

Lin

Maggie

Pete

Keith

 

Are there any more sopranos who can help out please?  If so please let me know.

 

It will be nice to be able to provide a bit of Christmas cheer to the Home after such an awful year for them.  I believe there will be festive food available in their bistro.

 

Thank you.

 

Sharon

Hi To Those Who Are Singing on Thursday at the URC Church

If your circumstance is different from the doodle poll/ emails please let me know. 

Wear something Christmassy and bright and as much bling as you like.  Men White shirts with Christmas ties if you have one if not something Christmassy colours??  Don’t forget you Christmas Hats. Tinsel on your black folders.  I will bring some for those who may not have any. 

This is what we are singing.  But can you leave the rest in the folder just in case we are short.
