Special notice

i Feb 28th No Comments by
With regret, the decision has been made this morning to cancel the Choir Rehearsal at St Jude’s tonight, Wednesday 28 February.

We are making every effort to ensure that each member of the Choir is notified by email as well as posting this notice on the Choir Website. Special thanks and appreciation goes to those officers and members involved in this significant process. Hopefully, we look forward to returning to normality next week for our practice on Wednesday 7 March. Thank you all for your understanding.

Our AGM will take place at St Judes’ Church Hall at 7.30pm on Wednesday 21st February. Rehearsal will follow the AGM.

Our subscription for 2018 is £80, and the committee has agreed this is discounted to £76 if paid no later than 10th March.

Payment can be made by cheque (payable to Overgate Hospice Choir) or directly by bank transfer into the choir’s bank account. Details of how to pay by direct bank transfer will be available at rehearsals from 21st February.

Please provide your name and choir number on all BACS payments. Please ensure your choir number is written on the back of your cheque.

Chasing subscriptions is not a pleasant job so please do pay promptly.

Thanks in advance

Choir Photo at Bankfield Museum

i Feb 15th No Comments by

As discussed at rehearsal on 14th February, we have been invited to have photos of the choir included in an exhibition at Bankfield Museum. We are unable to submit the current choir photo so Lesley has made the following arrangements. If you weren’t at choir on the 14th and would like to be involved in the photo shoots please see Kathie or Lesley.

Dear Singers
Here is the information for the Bankfield Photo as discussed last night.
Group 1 Saturday 10 March at 11-15am
and
Group 2 Monday 12 March at 11-30am
We need to arrive at Bankfield Museum 30 minutes prior to the scheduled photo time in order to have documentation checked and to ensure that all participants have arrived.
We need to be in uniform and bring the signed and completed media consent form. I have printed these off and will bring them to rehearsal in due course. I will also do an instruction sheet to go with it for everyone who is attending.
Best wishes
Lesley
