Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a good week and looking forward to rehearsals on Tuesday?
Apologies as this email has many parts - but one longer email is hopefully easier to read and digest than many shorter ones? If not - oh well, better luck next time 
1. 
As announced on Tuesday, please note that rehearsal on 25 February (first one back after half term) will be held at Hermon Chapel due to the Oswestry Youth Music Festival. (In fact "my" Lottie will be singing in Christchurch immediately prior to rehearsal so I may well be ... again ... late! At least I shouldn't forget the venue change!
