DOORKEEPERS
In a couple of week's time, Darryl Cupitt will be going away until the end of August and Phil Gallagher will be away until the Winter Break. So we need two members to assume the roles of subs collectors, roll markers and gig sheet monitors for each of these periods. Please contact me or Darryl or Phil if you can help out in this way.
ANCA MAGAZINE SING OUT
There is an article on us in its latest publication. It is on the gig sheet table for your perusal.

PLEASE NOTE that if new members have the requisite uniform they may join us for these gigs and use their books standing in the rear rows. See Max Brennan if you are able to add your name to the list.
I'm sure that everyone appreciates this great effort by Max Brennan and others in organising this event. See last week's Warble for the detailed timings for this week-end.

ANNUAL FUNDRAISING CONCERT
Plans are proceeding. Gig sheets will on the table from next Tuesday to indicate your intention to participate in either or hopefully both concerts.
ANTARCTICA CONFERENCE GIG
Note that the date has been changed from 28th June to Saturday 25th June times and precise details still to be confirmed but probably in the evening.
Another two Sibelius song files by Andrea for this Antarctica gig have been distributed for the proposed songs. Continue to practice from these please.
This gig was always promoted as one where we would use books and sing in unison so please familiarise yourselves with the single melody for each of the six songs and make up one small folder with only the pages of words so efficiently prepared by Ian Johnson recently.
Thanks again Johnno.
ANNUAL RETREAT
Please ensure that you can attend this weekend traditional retreat. This year we expect to need practice not only for our Concert but also for the Police Memorial Service and the Heart Foundation Service.
As we expect to be provided very soon with the Oceania Confederation's repertoire choices for the 2012 London Concert, we are hopeful of including some of that in our concerts. Plenty of notice has been given via the forecast calendar so try to do your part to complete the arrangements and planning that are well underway.
Remember, try to attend both days but if you can attend only one day, that is fine also.
ABOUT ANDREA
I believe Andrea is in the throes of replacing a broken computer and retrieving lost files, therefore there has been little electronic communication possible with her recently which probably explains the absence of the May practice schedule etc.
