Wollongong Regional Tour
Our joining of voices with the Arcadian Lamplighters on the weekend of 21-22 May is getting closer. Hopefully everyone who is going on the Wollongong regional tour has booked their accommodation.
Antarctica Conference
Note that the date change from 28th June to Saturday 25th June times and precise details still to be confirmed but probably in the evening.
Sib files have been distributed by Andrea, via Geoff Ford, for the proposed songs. Continue to practice from these please.
Annual Retreat
Your committee has tried to provide a significant lead time to enable you to plan your commitments accordingly. Our Retreat weekend has been booked once again at Goulburn Conservatorium for 17-18 September.
Annual Fundraising Concert
I am still calling for expressions of interest from members to assist with the organisation of this year's concerts Thursday afternoon, 13th and Saturday afternoon, 15th October. The Thursday concert designed for the Aged Care industry residents as well as the Saturday afternoon concert for the general public.
Several committee members will be involved of course. Thanks to those members who have already come forward. Please contact me if you can help in some way.
By now everyone has had a time to consider your work and diary commitments and endeavour to be available for BOTH concerts that week to assist in our own fundraising.
Life Membership Policy
Recently, your committee approved a slight change to the wording of one part of the policy. The wording will now read, after the heading "Process for assessing applications for Life Membership" as follows:
"A nominator SHOULD NOT approach the member they propose for Life Membership. Initially, nominations (together with a seconder) for Life Membership should be forwarded to the President for consideration by the committee."
All other wording in the existing policy remains the same.
Training Night Information
The Tradies have booked the Launceston room on 3 and 10 May. On these nights we will practice in the Housie room. At this stage these are the only dates we will be required to move in this financial year.
Remember Tuesday evenings is a Pasta & Pizza night all you can eat for $16.00 before to practice.
Also, please let me or any other committee member know what your thoughts are about the recent change of venue to the Tradies Club.
The next committee meeting will be 10th May so we will have encountered most teething problems to work through and should have formed objective views.
Choir Promotion
The hard copy versions of the flyers were available last Tuesday; however the former venue is printed. Timings of ordering, printing and our recent move did not quite coincide unfortunately.
Try to remember to update latest venue details when you hand out a hard copy version. Geoff Ford has prepared and stuck on correction stickers on the remainder of flyers. Brilliant job thanks Geoff.
Uniform
A reminder that is NOT acceptable for members to wear "close resemblances" of our stipulated uniform. You are expected to purchase the designated items so that the integrity of our uniform is assured. Please refer to earlier Warbles for details.
Also there was error in previous Warbles regarding the cost of the taupe trousers. The actual cost is currently $44.95 not $42.50 as previously advised.
Music and Folder Indexes
Remember to purchase your London Gig books as these are available from the desk when you pay you nightly subs or during the brew break.
Please attend to your music folders following the Repertoire Committee work in rationalising previous indexes. Revised indexes have been emailed and distributed to all members.
Sibelius files
Members should note that all converted Sibelius files remain the property of the Australian Rugby Choir and must not be transferred to third parties other than other financial members of the ARC.
Remember
This Warble and others are available from our website.
Many Parts in Tune
