Hi TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE LET ME KNOW YOU ARE ATTENDING THIS SATURDAY

It would be appreciated if you and your guests could have an LFT (lateral flow test) at least  24 hours before attending the “Get Together and Sing Together”.

There will be a Raffle. Any donated raffle prizes will be much appreciated.

There will also be a retiring collection to help cover expenses.

I am sure that you will be delighted to see one of the lockdown babies, Becci’s   “Edie” and her brother Ollie who will be joining us – I am told she will probably steal the show.  There may also be other children present.

We will be singing using our black folders, please remember to watch Chris and don’t bury your heads in the books!

Hi All

Just to let you know the plans for our “Get Together To Sing Together” Social event happening on Saturday 2nd October 2021 at Hedge End Village Hall Starting at 2.30pm.

The idea is that we will be sat at Tables laid out with plenty of space around them, we will be sat six to a table.  Anyone not comfortable with sitting with other people that is not a problem we can sit you at a table with your guests away from others.  You are able to invite close  family members but remember we are limited on space so please ask if you have a lot guests.  

Bring your own picnic and we will supply tea and coffee.

We will have two musical interludes with those that want to sing on the stage suitably distanced of course.  

There will be a raffle to help pay for the Hall Hire etc. and a retiring collection.  (Any donations to the raffle will be gratefully received).

We will have ventilation during the event and anyone who feels more comfortable wearing a mask or any other precautions is more than acceptable.

At the moment we  need to know:-

1. If you would like to attend and how many guests you propose to bring

2. If you are happy to sit on a table of six with other people

We would like to know numbers as soon as possible so that we can invite other friends of the choir if there are any spaces left.

To help to organise can you PLEASE RETURN ANSWER ON THIS EMAIL

Thanks 

Lin
