Getting to shotley Bridge is really quite easy! (post code DH8 0HH)
From Newcastle head towards Swalwell and follow signs for Consett.
From Durham head towards the hospital (the A691) and follow signs for Consett, then from
Consett follow signs for Shotley Bridge.
Otherwise there is some pretty darned good public transport from Newcastle and Durham!
In terms of parking in Shotley there is little, however there will be event parking at the Cricket
Club (DH8 0TN) as usual please park considerately seeing as there are some rather major bus
routes through the village!
Meet a little before 3.00pm at Sale Pepe-the big restaurant on the big bend (you'll remember
from last year!) !I'll be about but if you can't see me or anyone else from choir, ask any of
the staff and they'll point you in the right direction!
At 3.00pm we start warming up/topping and tailing!
We sing from 3.30pm-4.15pm, which is a really nice slot, IN the Methodist church.
The weekend looks MEGA so please come much earlier and enjoy our beautiful village and
everything our lovely little businesses have to offer!
and here is the repertoire and approximate order of things!
