| Cost: | A small subscription, paid in Sept and early Feb, usually £10 or £15, to cover the cost of the Hall and new music. |
We usually meet at Wyaston Village Hall.
Janet Bunting and Anna Raindorp will be sharing the administration.

We sing a variety of music -traditional, folk songs, songs from the shows. Most pieces are in 2 parts, some in unison. Enthusiasm is more important than a high level of musical ability. You don't need to be able to read music as we practise each part separately a few times, then put the parts together. No-one will ever be asked to sing on their own. We have a tea break for about 20 minutes in the middle of the practice, so you get chance to chat and have a breather.
New members are always welcome. The first two meetings after our summer break - Thursdays 11th and 25th September 2025, would be good times for new members to come along as we will be starting a new set of music, but new members will be able to join in at any time, as we usually have a couple of pieces that we are quite competent with, a couple we are part way through learning, and a couple that are either brand new or we have only practised once, so new members would be at the same stage as everyone else on these.
Any interested members please contact Janet Bunting or come along to a practice.
