A good start on Christmas last week. Well done to John P. and Vicky on their own.

This week you will need Carols for Choirs 1 (Green) and 2 (Orange) and the New Oxford Book of Carols (big blue) in addition to the sheets given out last week.

Music required for Friday:

I will bring a couple spares of Carols for Choirs and copies of In the bleak midwinter for new people who might not have the books.

Your committee met this week and is working hard on trying to finalise December events and searching for a new conductor.

There is a promising candidate who we will invite to come to observe a rehearsal and if she enjoys that then to lead part of one. The committee agreed that any appointment should be on a trial period leading to a concert. Someone may be good in rehearsal and not so good in performance. We have had a couple of offers from established conductors to help out but not take the job permanently. The vacancy has been adverstised on the Association of British Choral Directors website and on the Gerontius website. Let’s all keep our eyes and ears open.
