SPECIAL GUEST CHOIR MASTER THIS WEEK!
Kathleen is conducting Hairspray, so Annemarie Sharry will be leading us this Thursday. Her new baby, Maeve, will make a brief appearance before Dale whisks here away.

LOCATION
This week (and next) we’ll be in the Bar Council Chamber on the First Floor, ODCE. Look for signs.

PAY-AS-YOU-GO OPTION
For those who can’t enrol for the whole term, feel free to come on the day and pay $20 (credit card payment form available). We are looking for a new home on Level 1 ODCE.

NEW WINTER LOCATION
We have secured bookings for the Neil McPhee Room for most dates this term but will also be singing around the big table in the Bar Council Chamber in week 2 & 3. Look for the notices on the day [and in the TeamApp Calendar].

Contact Courtney Bow to enrol for Term 3 or Emma Swart for any questions.

MUSIC
If you have ideas for songs you’d like to sing, please let Kathleen know (bearing in mind we’re not using a piano in the current meeting space).

Last week we started learning Akanamandla, an exuberant song from Africa.
