Rehearsal Thursday 15th July

Lins Emails
Hi All

Just to inform you that we are planning to go ahead with this weeks outside rehearsal at Natalies.

We are pleased for Erin, Natalies daughter had negative PCR test which was required by the school on Sunday but she still has to isolate until the 17th.  The rest of the family have had negative lateral flow tests.  We think that under the circumstances she will have been isolating for 8 out of the 10 days and we are outside that there is a very low risk to choir members.

If you do not feel happy to attend we will fully understand  if you could just let me know that you will not be there.
So normal thing if you are on the original list below and are not able to make the rehearsal let us know. If you would like to be added to the list you are more than welcome just let us know you would like to attend. 
I have marked the ones who I believe have already informed me. Apologies if I have missed anyone.

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ. TOMORROWS OUTSIDE REHEARSAL CANCELLED 8/7/21

Lins Emails

Hi All Unfortunately we will have to cancel tomorrow’s outside rehearsal as one of Natalie’s daughters has been sent home from school to isolate so we will be unable to use the garden. It is too short notice to find another venue as we would have to do a risk assessment etc on the location.
We will however be doing zoom as per the details sent out earlier. There will be break out rooms at some time during the meeting.
Sorry about that but obviously cannot be helped.

NMM Wanting and Selling Page – Magazine editing for Talking Newspapers

Lins Emails

Begin forwarded message:

Subject: Magazine editing for Talking Newspapers

Lin – could you send the following out to our choir members please?

 

Hello everybody

 

I have been a volunteerwithr Southampton Area Talking Echo (which produces talking newspapers for the blind) for many years now, giving my time as a reader for the magazine edition that goes out to our blind listeners, and also as an administrator.  As time has gone on, we have unfortunately lost some editors and are in need of people to compile material from a range of different sources to produce an edition to go out roughly every two months.

 

Firstly, therefore, if anyone thinks they might be interested in becoming an editor, I would be more than happy to talk through what is required, and provide a bit more information about what we do.

 

Secondly, I have volunteered to be an editor myself for a couple of editions to help us through this year, but am short of material.  So, if anyone out there has magazines such as The Oldie, which contains articles that might be of interest to our listeners, or anything else that might be useful, again please contact me.  The listeners are all elderly, so articles that bring back memories for them, particularly about Southampton, would be good, along with some amusing pieces.

 

You can email me on sharont@gmail.com if you can help.

 

Many thanks

 

Sharon Thomas

Hi All

Well, fingers crossed for Wednesday night for anyone who is interested in the football. I’ve got my fingers crossed anyway. Oh and fingers crossed the weather is good for Thursday!  No birthdays this week as far as I know.  

So the news from Boris needs to be looked at and we need to find out how the choir members feel about how it effects New Music Makers.  When we have the full information the committee will get together to see how we are going to proceed for next term.

The current plan for the rest of this term is that weather permitting we will have outside rehearsals on the 8th and 15th, AGM on 22nd and last rehearsal 29th July and we will resume in September, date to be confirmed.

NMM WANTING AND SELLING PAGE – Willerby Linford Holiday Home To Rent

Lins Emails
Hi Folk

Richard Close recently sent me this email so I am sending on the details to you all.  Richards Contact details are on the attachment.

“I’ve recently bought a holiday home at Selsey near Chichester.The home is sited in a large holiday camp with extremely good facilities for families and those who just want to get away from  it all. With travel restrictions as they are, I would like to offer the home to NMM members and/or their families at a reduced rate, almost 50% cheaper than what the camp is charging to rent out their homes. The home is this year’s model, if rented out by the camp, it would be classed within the Gold category. It Is double glazed and centrally heated.”


HOLIDAY HOME TO LET
Available for 3, 4 or 7 nights at the Bunn Leisure holiday resort at Selsey.
It is a Willerby Linwood Holiday Home that sleeps 6. It’s Double Glazed and Gas Central Heated.
Sited in the West Sands area within a quiet cul-de-sac with a short walk to the amenities.
Please see attached for more details.
