CHORISTER TRAINING
Jonathan was disappointed that no one came for training in the holidays.
 
ADULT VOLUNTEERS FOR CHOIR CLUB
If you are unable to fulfil the choir club dates agreed (following a phone call from me), please ring the number(s) below as a matter of urgency. If we do not have sufficient cover we have to cancel Choir Club and this takes some doing!

NOTIFICATION OF ABSENCE
Please return the duplicate of this Newsletter (or print one out if you've had it by E-mail) with a tick or a cross in the last column showing whether you will or won't be at a particular service/practice as this will assist us greatly with our planning for chorister training and services.  Please do remember to put your name on the form in the box provided at the top!!

RECRUITMENT
Please feel free to bring (preferably male!) friends to choir practice whenever you want.  We really do need to strengthen the boys and mens sections as quickly as possible.
