Apologies for the late hour of this message; I’ve had a family emergency this week. Nonetheless I plan to be at our gathering tomorrow and look forward to seeing many of you at Owen Dixon Chambers East, Level 1.

Gratitude to Sandy for his successful perseverance in arranging a parking spot for the choir master at ODC!

PERFORMANCE THIS TERM?
More details to come but the goal is for the performance to take place on Thursday September 15 at 1PM. We’re investigating the very convenient option of a lunchtime performance at the Essoign Club. We’ll sing some of the songs we’ve been learning since the end of last term (eg Lion Sleeps Tonight, Come Again) as well as including some show tunes as a bit of a sing-along for our audience.
