A HUGE Thank You
The concert was
absolutely brilliant (Bernard was right about Silent Night - it was
exquisite as you sang it). Sleep! Holy Babe was my abiding
favourites you were just so 'with me' it was a pleasure to conduct
you! The audience were thrilled with the 'all out' Ring out wild
bells! Well done to you all for rising to the occasion so
splendidly successfully. The Orchestra's rendition of Jingle
Bells was just sparkling! |

Post-Christmas Drinks 2 January: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
I have been advised
that the Hall doors need to be either shut or attended when the hall
is in use. Avoids unwanted incursions, apparently! As we are
upstairs this is a potential problem if people arrive late. There is
a doorbell, but it's proved unreliable. |

Concert Videos Father Innocent, as many of you will have spotted, was up in the gallery taking videos of the Concert on his 'phone. I have a seen four of them, and there are hopefully another four to come. I *may* share the best of them with you at a future date. Each one is a huge file, far larger than email will cope with. I'll see if I might be able to put one or two of them up on the Website so that just the readers of Update will be able to view them in all their glory. Plainchant Choir 19:30 Practices: 16 January, 13 February and 13 March. Cantors 19:45 Practices: Andrew 30 January, Ken 20 March. Snow at St. Bartholomew's If it should snow over winter, it would be good to have a 'winter' image of our church should anyone be able to take a decent picture. |
