HEAD CHORISTER
We are delighted to have awarded Jennie, a member of the Girls’ & Boys’ Choir, a Head Chorister medal. She is a committed and valuable chorister, already of many years’ membership, and she thoroughly deserves this award.
ALTER CHORUM – new choir
Sara & Vicky are starting a new choir for Holy Trinity Church, independent of our other choirs, for ladies aged 60+. Initially this new choir will meet for a 40 minute rehearsal every other week, with the intention of singing at a Sunday service before too long. Members need have no sight-reading ability or great singing experience, and they do not have to be existing members of the congregation. We seek only enthusiasm and a willingness to commit to working together. In return, we hope members will reap the physical and mental health benefits of singing. Rehearsals will take place in church (so, regardless of the outside temperature, always wrap up warm!).
If you would like to be a part of this new choir, please email or call Sara (sarawood44@hotmail.com; 01628 522593) or you can see her in church on a Sunday. Once we have an idea of numbers we will organise a regular rehearsal time, beginning later in May. Thank you.
