Welcome KIM SOUTHEY!
It was great to have Kim join us for the first time last week. We hope to see you again soon, Kim.

You are all encouraged to BRING A FRIEND or perhaps someone who hasn’t attended for a while (almost 40 Bar Members have sung with us). They’re welcome simply to observe if they wish. Let them know it’s okay to bring your lunch, arrive late or leave early.

SHOW TUNES!
We sang some show tunes last week including classics from The Sound of Music and My Fair Lady. By popular demand, tomorrow we’ll embark on some Cole Porter.

DUPLICATE MESSAGES?
Some people have not been receiving newsletters via email so I’ve turned on the email notifications. Apologies if you receive them in duplicate.

PERFORMANCE THIS TERM?
We’re investigating the very convenient option of a Thursday lunchtime at the Essoign Club at the end of term. Stay tuned for more details…

HAVE YOUR PAID CHOIR DUES YET?
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). Contact Courtney Bow to enrol for Term 3 or Emma Swart for any questions.

MUSIC
If you have further 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).

We have also started learning Akanamandla, an exuberant song from Africa:
