Hope that you enjoy Easter and look forward to seeing everyone on our return on Wednesday 19th April 2023. It would be very helpful if you arrive a little early on the 19th to enable scores for the new work to be distributed.
If you need any more publicity for our next concert then please find below copies of the A5 Flyer and both sides of the postcard.
The attached pdf file is a draft document produced after discussions within the Committee and is now being shared for everyone in the Society to have the opportunity to make comments or suggest additions. Four weeks are available for you to pass your comments either directly to Mike Foster or to your Section Rep to share with the Committee. After that time the Committee will finalise the plan taking into account all of your comments.
Our contribution to the Christmas Tree Festival at the Minster is now in place. Thanks to David Cooke for providing the tree and to Linda Savage for providing the themed decorations. The Festival runs from today until Monday morning as per the details already provided in the circulation of their poster. If you do attend and see anyone hovering around our tree then please encourage them to take one of our publicity leaflets about membership and concerts.
We look forward to seeing you at the first rehearsal of the new year which will be on Wednesday 11th January 2023 at 7.30 p.m. in the Minster.
Please try to be there a little earlier than usual to allow for the distribution of scores and a prompt start to rehearsing the new works.

Making Music have updated their Covid resources and supplied new templates for risk assessments of rehearsals and for performances.
The Committee agreed on Wednesday 6th April 2022 that these would form the basis of our risk assessments and would replace our previous version for rehearsals and be the new assessment for our next concert on Saturday June 18th 2022.
The new versions are viewable in Excel using the following links
Members should make themselves aware of the details of these and if they have any comments or suggestions then please bring these to the attention of your Section Reps.
We are taking a break for Easter so there will be no rehearsals on the 13th and 20th of April 2022.
Our first rehearsal back will be on Wednesday the 27th of April and we look forward to seeing you there.
