Important: A message from our Chairman, 1st March 2021
Dear members,
Dear members,Some of you have probably already realised that the government's 'road map' for getting us out of lockdown does not allow organisations such as ours to start meeting until May 17th. That means ( you've guessed already I expect) that we have had to postpone our restart for a further month, and have now booked to start on the first Saturday after May 17th, which is May 22nd. To make up for the lost rehearsal time, we have booked an additional session on May 29th: it did seem a little bizarre to be returning for one week, before a half term break! The revised dates will be on the website. Let's hope this will prove to be the final obstacle before we can all meet and rehearse again.I shall be writing to you again in April, just to remind you of the social distancing rules we shall have to work with when we restart rehearsals, since we shall have to put up with these for the Summer Term at least.Stay well, get vaccinated and keep your fingers firmly crossed that we will be able to restart in May.
With very best wishes,Phil.
