Subject: REHEARSAL AND CONCERT CANCELLED 😢
Hi All
We have had a difficult decision to make. The Committee did not want to cancel the Christmas Concert but we had to weigh up what is best for everyone with the Omicron variant moving at an “absolutely phenomenal pace” as was described in the news brief today. And as Professor Chris Whitty urged people to “prioritise social interactions that really matter to them and de-prioritise others” “Don’t mix with people you don’t have to so that you can be safe for the things that really matter to you”. This makes perfect sense and it would be terrible if people could not have the Christmas they wanted and we were the cause of it.
It has also been decided to not have a rehearsal tomorrow evening as the same points apply to that as well.
People who have bought tickets will get their money back.
Sharon will sort out the fish and chips and will put the money back in your accounts if you paid by bank transfer, if you paid by cheque they have not been paid in yet and Sharon will return them to you, she will also sort out who has paid by cash.
If you gave raffle prizes we will bring them to the first rehearsal on the Thursday 13th January 2022 and you can collect them back.
I will make an announcement on Facebook if you see it perhaps you can share.
Many thanks to Chris for all of his hard work and making it fun learning Christmas Songs in September and making us ready for a Concert and to Victoria for coming along and playing for us.
Thanks to the Committee for all of their hard work and the volunteers that would have been there for the Concert maybe we can have Christmas in March as someone suggested.
So Everyone Take Care and Have a “Wonderful Christmas Time”.
