The pub meeting, number two

A nice small group of choir members bought drinks and snuggled up together in the spa pub, it was nice to see some new members come along with offers to help and eager to find out more about Dorset for singing.

We discussed our room change, notably from the music practice room to the hall, in some ways its big, cold has us spread out, but it does fit us all in now. This week though we have to squeeze back into out old room, as the hall is in use. Choir still remains flexible on where you sit, which is great for little folks like me who don’t fit into any particular demographic at all, even when it comes to voice range.

This Thursday the whole choir will have the chance to say whether we should all simply wear blue as our uniform, and any shades of will do. Unless there’s a mass vote for orange, which I doubt. I have a suspicion that the naughty corner are still hankering after a set of polo shirts, so that they can be seen as proud choir members wherever they may wander. They could get back to me with numbers if they wish, I spent some time in the polo shirt shop last summer …

The edits of our Christmas and summer concerts are available now, and will be for sale by an ordering system and a pound from each going to starlight. £3 for Christmas and £5 for summer, please.

A concert, which may be recorded, may take place in late January or early Feb, at All Saints Church, Portland, when everyone has gone flat after Christmas. It will be a live recording; so don’t come if you have a cough. Just kidding.

Our concert on the 3rd December will cost £2.50 for adults and £1 for children, as at out summer concert. No burgers this time but it was thought that choir members could hand out mince pies during an interval … when they are supposed to be having a break. We talked about possible outlets for tickets since Ed no longer has a shop in town, and came up with a few ideas to follow through. Remember to bring your bit of paper with your charity suggestion for this year, and yes, keep singing!
