You need to come to at least 6 of the 8 if you want to take part in:
*June 9. Recording session at Weymouth Bay Methodist Church. 10am-12.30. That should be the final recording session.
*Decorated fish need to be in by April 28th. We may have a fishy early afternoon after choir on April 21st for anyone who wants to use the paints, or swap ideas or embroidery stitches or whatever. We'll decide on April 14th.
*May 12. We are singing at a memorial service at Higher Ground Meadow, Corscombe burial ground. 8 miles from Maiden Newton on the A356 going towards Crewkerne. From Maiden N take the second turning to Corscombe on the right, then immediately left for the burial ground. Very beautiful place. The service is 2 - 3pm and we will need to be there at 1pm for a rehearsal. We will sing: How Can I Keep From Singing. Mountain (They say that when we die..) Circles Into May. May Your Cup Always Be Full (We wish you all good things...) If people can manage it we'll have the workshop from 9.30 to 12 on the morning of May 12. We could bring lunch to eat at the school, or in the car park at Corscombe, and then go straight there.
*June 2. Right Royal Gaudy Day. You are invited to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee by dressing royally &/or patriotically for the morning's workshop. Corgi slippers, for example, are bound to be in the shops by then while a horsey headscarf is known to team well with a tiara. If your wardrobe is lacking in royal accoutrements you may like to wear red, white and blue.
