      2. Christmas Market - Thursday 5th December 5.00pm

      Please arrive at the stage in the food hall in the inner close by 4.50pm - I suggest you avoid the entrance by the West Door and come in by the skype or St Swithun’s Street. John Lunt (B2) is conducting and has sent the programme using the green Carols for Choirs 1. We hope to sing the Ukranian carol The Carol of the Bells, please bring your own copy which you can find using this link.

   4. Christmas Cards, payments and Tickets for Concerts

      Both are still available. The cards will be at this week’s rehearsal. £5 for 6.

      Please note that all payments at choir are being done electronically using cards/phones. This is easier for Susan Rees and Kate Baker in that getting cash in reasonable quantities is very difficult nowadays and paying in cash can also be problematic.

      5. A Staging Request from Veronica

      As you know we are trying a new venue for our Summer concert in 2025. The Guildhall does not have any suitable staging we can use so we are looking to borrow or hire some so we all have good sight lines at the concert. This would cost the choir a substantial amount if we hire from a specialist company. We need something similar to that used at Winchester College this summer. If any of you work in a school, college, university or other establishment that might have some staging we could hire or borrow over the weekend of 28th June 2025, please could you let Veronica know at veronica.kshaw@gmail.com

      Thank you.
