Hi All

Not a lot to add in this email as most things were said in previous emails.  No Birthdays (that I know of).

I haven’t mentioned about the virtual song Your Raise Me Up.  Well done all of those that participated and thanks to Lillian and Chris for doing the backing tracks and Lillian for putting it together.  It must be quite a job I would like to see the cutting room floor with all of the bits that have been faded out that are wrong, especially from me. It is nice to see more people having a go.  Lets hope more of you can try for Christmas 🎄


1. Reminded you to sign Sandie and David’s card ✔️
2. Reminded you to make donation with alternative cash option ✔️ 🎁
   Thank you those that have done that.

3.  Told you what we are we singing this week on Zoom ✔️ 🎶

4.  Sent a link for you to find the songs we are rehearsing on onedrive. ✅

4.  Told you there was a page missing and have resent the pdf again on The Most Wonderful time of the year ✔️ 🎅🏼 (is it only me that thinks this looks like            Jerry?)

5.  Told you that Lillian would like to know what songs you would like to do a recording of for the virtual concert.  I have had a few questions about this and I am sure Lillian will tell us more on Thursday night.  But the idea is that you tell Lillian which songs you would be happy/like  to sing as well as the ones that everyone is singing.  So if you would like to be considered for them all you        write them all down, perhaps in the order of preference as someone                suggested.  Again I am sure Lillian will confirm this on Thursday.  She would        like to know by Thursday so perhaps after the zoom call.  Can you send your         suggestions directly to Lillian please. ✔️

6.    Told you that if you don’t want to sing with video you can audio record, your choice. ✔️

All that’s left is for me to remind you of the link again, it is the same every week by the way so I don’t really have to remind you but… ✔️

Week 31 Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81691367380?pwd=RUg4SFNPbnRxbUVwQ1gwb1ZKUWZhQT09 Meeting ID: 816 9136 7380 Passcode: Gold

Hi All

Not much to say this week, all the birthdays were last week, I hope you all had a good time.

I have heard from Mike Ward who has got me up to date with Lesley and his wife.  Lesley has had a new hip fitted last Wednesday which seems to have gone ok.  She hasn’t done any walking yet and it took her a while to get over the anaesthetic.  Next stop is to go somewhere for rehab and it looks like it will be at Fordingbridge hospital. There is no visiting so it probably doesn’t matter how far it is.  Mike’s wife is at home and is more mobile but is still recovering and keeps Mike busy.

I am pleased to say that Gen and Steve are both much better and seem to be on the mend.  Hopefully we will see Gen on Zoom tomorrow.

Not a lot of news about Mary only that it will be a long long recovery. What a shame we and relatives cannot go and visit any of these poor people in hospital.

Can I remind you again if you haven’t signed the card or wish to contribute to David and Sandie, could you do it asap, thanks.

Christmas Virtual Concert

Sending the email again of the programme for the Concert.  Just a thought, but if you don’t want to video yourselves singing the songs, then how about just recording it and sending in a photograph of yourself in uniform?  Just a thought!

Here is a list of the songs that we will be doing for the Concert.

1. Hark! The herald-angels sing (#23) – ALL
2. We wish you a merry Christmas  – ALL

Virtual Christmas Concert

Also find a Christmas Hat to sing The Most Wonderful Time of The Year.

Week 30 Page 1

Hi All
This weekend would have been our cheese and wine party and we were going to invite past members to have a wonderful evening of food, wine and entertainment. We were even going to get Tom to do one of is amazing monologues. Unfortunately, of course, this cannot happen, so why doesn’t everyone have a night in and just enjoy the wine and cheese. Any excuse!
We have lots of birthdays this week so will be doing two emails as sometimes they don’t send if I send too much.
We have two birthdays on the Friday 9th October. Ladies first,it is Lesley Cother’s Birthday. Lesley is an alto and joined the Choir in the February 2018. Unfortunately Lesley has not had a good time as she fell at the beginning of lockdown and broke her arm and she is at the moment in hospital after another fall and has broken and dislocated her hip and is waiting for an operation. I am sure we all wish her well. Maureen has put some cards through her door which we hope that she will get.

Get Well Soon Lesley.
Next we have Peter Blake. Peter is a Bass and has been in the choir for many years. He has been chairman and committee member in his time. Peter is the one on the right, Marg is in the picture to add the glamour. This was taken at the Old Time Music Hall evening and this is not their normal attire.

Have a great day Pete

It is Pat Jenkins birthday on Monday 12th October. Pat is a Top Sop and has had a very full interesting singing career, singing, I believe all over the world. This is another picture of our Old Time Music Hall singing one of her many solos that she has sung with the New Music Makers. Hope you can have a lovely day Pat.
Philip Hounslow’s Birthday is on Tuesday 13th. Phil is a Bass and joined in February 2019 and was just getting back to choir before the lockdown after an illness so we have not seem him for a while. We hope you are well Phil and you get to have a great birthday. {CAPTION}

Hope you all have a lovely day. 🎂 🥂 🍰 🎺 🥂
