A message from Simon.
It would be wonderful to see any Overgate members at this year’s special “Music for Good Friday” event presented this time in happy and grateful memory of the late Jan Holdstock.
A gentle reminder that there are no rehearsals on 28th March nor 4th April.
We meet again on the 11th April.
Happy Easter everyone.
Many thanks to Simon for the information so clearly provided below.

Please find below two features of the Hymn Sing and our donation of £10,000 to the Hospice, from the Brighouse Echo and Halifax Evening Courier. The amount raised is obviously not from the Hymn Sing alone, but it’s good for us to have such publicity!
