Dear all
Carols at the Gables, Falfield on Thursday 19 December
The final arrangements for tomorrow are as follows:
We have been asked to meet at 2pm for a 2.30pm start this year as their afternoon tea starts at 1pm!
In order for the guests to join in we need to use the carols on the Bethlehem carol sheets which Kate will give them. The list of carols is attached again with the Green Carols for Choirs page numbers plus the extra sheets. Please bring your green Carols for Choirs book if you have one and print off the extra sheets. The extra sheets can be downloaded from our repertoire page here: https://www.
Please wear suitable Christmas attire and please bring some bells, coconut shells, etc!
Carols at St Mary Centre, Thornbury on Saturday 20 December
Kate also says the following:
On Saturday morning in St Mary's Centre in Thornbury there will be a variety of groups playing Christmas music. There will be plenty of opportunities to sing along so singers will be appreciated, especially at 11.30. Please come along if you can and support the groups. There will be collecting buckets for the Thornbury food bank.
10.00 - 10.25 the Community choir
10.30 - 10.55 Clarinet choir
11.00 - 11.25 the O'Briens
11.30 - 11.55 U3A recorders
12.00 - end T'hornblowers
Reminder: please contact Alison (her email address is amakepeace@outlook.com) if you can offer any help with the Finnish choir visit, hosting, transport, etc (26 February - 2 March).
We start rehearsing again on Monday January 6 and we will be singing Durufle's Requiem and unaccompanied motets.
Happy Christmas to you all.
