VERY IMPORTANT: CHANGE OF TOME FOR SATURDAY 25TH

Hi Everyone

Ed is very happy with the singing and so doesn't need as much rehearsal time with us on Saturday as previously planned.

So the time for our pre-concert rehearsal is now 5.00pm (not 4.00pm).  

Please arrive 10 minutes before hand so that we are ready to rehearse at 5.00pm.

Concert still at 7.00pm

Thanks

Arrangements for future concerts and informal sings

1. November 24th @ St Bartholomew's Church, Longbenton

See maps below. You will see that despite its name the church is actually in Benton, just north of Benton metro station.  Parking is available on a Saturday in the adjacent car park belonging to The Percy Hedley School.

Please arrive in time for a rehearsal to start at 4.00pm.
The concert starts at 7.00pm, tickets on the door £5 including refreshments.

We will send around the final repertoire for the concert in the next few days.

Please spread the word and encourage as many folk as possible to come.

2. December 8th @ Shotley Bridge

This is the informal sing that some of us have done for the last few years - part of the village's Victorian festival (hope that is right Jamie!).  Exact times to be confirmed but it is likely to be early-mid afternoon.  Enid will lead.

Please could you let us know if you are intending to sing, as it will only go ahead if we have a balanced choir.

3. December 17th @The Sage in Hall 2

This is our second formal concert for the end of term and will be shared with Femme Chorale and Philharmonic Voices.

Please arrive at The Sage by 5.45pm ready for a short rehearsal at 6.00pm. Please enter at the stage door at the rear of the building.

The concert starts at 7.00pm.

It is advertised in the Sage brochure and on their website, but please also spread the word and invite friends and family to join us. Tickets can be bought from the Sage box office £5 full price, concessions available.

4. Other dates for your diary:

19th December -as Steve (tenor) mentioned at rehearsal he is looking for choir members to help at a service at Longframlington Church - please contact Steve if you would like to sing.

23rd March 2013 - likely date for our end of spring term concert (venue tbc)
