SEATING AND REHEARSAL

We will be trying out  having the chairs a little closer as we will be singing 1m apart at the concert we will be putting the chairs so that when you stand you will be 1m apart.  If anyone is not happy with this just let me know and we will make sure that your seat is a bit further.

We are also aiming to start at 7.30 instead of 7.45 we are very mindful that we are losing rehearsal time and we only have three rehearsals until the RVCP. Can you all please try and make all of the rehearsals as we need to be as confident as we can before our performances.

If you are struggling with any of the songs or just to give you extra practise don’t forget you can go onto the members page on the website and access all of the pieces we are covering. 

CONCERTS

As I said on Thursday I am assuming that everyone that has attended the  Rehearsals in the Hall will be attending the Concerts as you know we are very low on numbers as some people are unable to attend so everyone is important to the overall sound of the choir.

We are also looking for volunteers to help in the morning of the Village Hall Concert  to help set up so if you can let me know if you are available we can allocate you a job.

We are also looking for Raffle Donations Please.

Gosh so many other things to tell you but that’s all for now folk! 

Lin

Oh just one other thing we need a small group  who are available to sing at the URC Church on Thursday 2nd December at 1.45pm for 45 mins. If you can let me know  ASAP

Hi All

Just to let you know I will not be at choir tonight or next week as  Chris has had a positive PCR test  although he has no symptoms.  Because of this I have decided to isolate with him to be on the safe side, my test came back negative.  I do not have to isolate but talking to other committee members we think this is the right thing to do so we have added it to our health check, there are a few changes so please could you have a look at it please.

Thanks to those that have let me know if your circumstances are different  for attending rehearsal tonight.  And good luck to Pete Blake who is not attending but may be on zoom who has his hip op very soon also to Ann who is not attending as she has an op to look forward to as well.

If you can let me know ASAP so that I can get the seating plan done as Eric has kindly offered to pick it up this afternoon when he picks up the key.

The infection rates for the last seven days are on a downward trend.
