2019 Choir Outing 30 June - Final Reminder Meet at Norbury Station at 09:20 to allow time to catch the 09:32 train to Victoria. Those of us who wish to travel from elsewhere will meet up for Mass. The Service Music at Westminster Cathedral for 10:30 Mass and 15:30 Vespers is now revealed here. Wonderful for the great feast of Ss. Peter & Paul. There will be time to explore the Cathedral shop after Mass and/or have a coffee before..... Zizzi in Cardinal Walk (virtually adjacent to last year's venue) has now been booked for 13:00. Allows time for post-Mass coffees for those who want to partake of them. The cost of the meal will be met by the Choir (thank you, once again, Doris), but I remind you that all drinks should be ordered, and paid for, by yourselves. The Sunday afternoon's 16:45 Organ Recital will be played by Alexander Hamilton from Westminster Abbey. The Music will be announced here. 2019 Choir 50 Mass - 11:30 22 September - EXTREMELY IMPORTANT The next two practices on Tuesdays 2 July and 17 September are 'must attend' occasions, please, as they will be our final rehearsals before our big occasion! A final reminder of the music we shall be singing. I am still waiting to hear if we will have an Archbishop....! |

The July Jigsaw - A final reminder of what you'll be missing........ Last month's answer - it was Pratts and Payne, a bar almost opposite where George Pratt's old department store was, and acknowledging Cynthia Payne's contribution to Streatham 's history! Some good answers, but none complete! |
