Member news for Thursday 13 February 2025

Dear Choir Member

If you need to reply for any reason, please do so to my email address: philpotthm@gmail.com.

 Here are the songs for Thursday: 

 Shosholoza

Tourdion

White winter hymnal 

Up on the roof

Season of peace

Blencathra

The longest time

Can't eat money  

Ain't no sunshine

Vacilon que rico vacilon  

We now have a date for a joint concert with Good in Parts on Friday 14^th March, Queen's Hall, Harrogate Road.  Please put it in your diary and sign up at choir.  We will choose songs from the list above, so any learning you can do between rehearsals will be beneficial. 

Recruitment: Do you have any friends or neighbours that would enjoy singing with us? Please ask them to come and try a rehearsal. We will also have some flyers available soon if you know anywhere they could be placed.

Social Media skills?

We would like to promote the choir on social media (Facebook, Instagram) but we need a volunteer. Do you have any experience – or do you have a child/grandchild who would be willing to keep things up to date for a small payment?

Music:  Printing your music: In order to keep costs down, we ask you to print copies of the music needed each week yourself. Please share with your neighbour if you have forgotten. A few copies are available at choir for those people who do not have a printer or for new members who are trying out choir. Please have your music sorted beforehand, as this information is given in the weekly email.  Janie will display a print out at the beginning for anyone who doesn't have time to read the email.
