Dates, concerts and Brugues - please reply

Term Dates:

This term's dates are 28th April - 21st July inclusive.

Our concert is on 6th July and there are two bank holiday Mondays before then when rehearsals will not be on, therefore we are thinking that we could pull forward a couple of the rehearsal dates that fall after the concert, to non-Mondays earlier in the term.  So please could you reply and let us know whether you could attend rehearsals on:

Wednesday 7th May or Friday 9th May
Wednesday 4th June or Friday 6th June
Wednesday 25th June or Thursday 26th June or Friday 27th June

If we can arrange two dates from the ones above that suit most of the choir then we will have the final rehearsal of the term on 7th July which will probably be a pre-Bruges rehearsal.

Summer Concert:

Just so we can check numbers please can you reply and confirm whether you will be able to sing in the summer concert which will be:
Sunday 6th July, 7pm at All Saint's Church, Gosforth.

Bruges:

Plans are getting finalised for singing venues and a restaurant for the Saturday night.  Once again, so we can check numbers please can you reply and confirm whether you will be coming along for the fun! (16th and 17th August)

Future concerts:

We are keen to plan future concerts where we can be hopeful of good (in number!) audiences.  Our thoughts are that these are probably at venues that either:

• Run a programme of concerts, or a music festival, that is planned well in advance and attract a regular & loyal following,

or

• are known to choir members who are able to drum up plenty of local support.

We would therefore be very grateful for any suggestions from choir of any venues that might fall into either (or both) of these categories.  And indeed any other suggestions for audience filled venues!!

Thank you all
