Our Retreat 17-18 September in Goulburn
Please ensure your attendance at our week-end retreat and both concerts. New members especially will benefit from the weekend Retreat. The thorough musical workout and good fun is the sure way to cement your relationship with the choir.
Thank you, Keith Jones for the email on the Goulburn week-end which has distributed by Geoff Ford. Geoff also sent around this week, for those who booked or are intending to book at the Astor notice that you need to confirm your booking via email.
Look at your car pooling options and decide if you might share accommodation. Ensure that you contact Goulburn to book your accommodation. Copies of all emails from Geoff Ford are on the website under latest news.
Fundraising Concerts in October
This is our only fundraising event for ourselves so WE need to start approaching our friends, colleagues and associates to attendance at our Saturday Concert on 15th October in the afternoon this year. Remember $25 per ticket and $20 concessions. The afternoon venture was introduced largely in response to suggestions from members so get out there and get the people along.
Remember also the Matinee Concert on Thursday 13 October concert for the Aged Care.
Keep in mind the Moruya Festival of Voice on Saturday 22 October.
London 2012 Concert
Rick Dresser has sent more London information from to prospective participants. Part practices are back in swing. Participants will have received their notice of required payment for 25% of booked accommodation costs.
Uniform Blazer
As the first wearing of the blazer is the first Annual Concert performance on Thursday 13th October, members are advised to get there soon but by the week ending 9th September at the latest to play safe with delivery times before the concert. Please arrange to get your order in if you have not already done so. Blazers are being delivered.
Cost of the blazer is $148.50. Members will need to personally attend Workin Gear, Paragon Mall, Gladstone Street, Fyshwick during working hours to be measured and fitted for their blazer. Payment can be made at fitting or pick up.
