London Summer 2015

As mentioned at rehearsal our proposal is to have our summer choir trip to London this year. A UK venue has meant that more choir members are able to come in the past so we hope that this will make the trip possible for the most number of singers this year. We haven't abandoned international destinations, we will be back investigating potentials next year.

The two options for the weekend are either 15/16 August or 22/23 August.  Please could you reply to this email and let me know which you would prefer. If you don't have a preference please could you reply to tell me that as well.

We would love to get a really great venue for a sing, Ed is hopeful for a Royal Peculiar (I had to google it) or one of the great London cathedrals's. There are also lots of other potential venues as well, including some outside of London that we could get to as a day trip.

So we have started collating a list of potentials to whom I will start sending emails soon. If anyone has any suggestions of other venues please do let me know soon.

However even more importantly, if anyone has any connections or contacts that they think might get us an open door or even a chink of light through a nearly closed door, please do shout up and we can make a plan of how best to approach them. After all shy bairns get nowt.

So our starters for 10 are (in no particular order):

St Brides's Church, Fleet Street
Temple Church
Hampton Court Palace, Chapel Royal
St Paul's Cathedral
Westminster Abbey
Southwark Cathedral
Westminster Cathedral
Westminster Palace Chapel of St Mary Undercroft
Lambeth Palace Chapel
St James's palace Chapel Royal and Queen's Chapel
All Hallows' by Tower
Christ Church Spitalfields
Church if st Bartholomew the Great
St Martins in the Fields
St Paul's Covent Garden
Eton College Chapel
St George's Chapel, Windsor

Thanks for your help.
