We have been frantically searching for a new venue ever since the newly found Suffolk Punch pub closed its doors... It was back to the drawing board... We managed to have a standby venue at Freston Village Hall, but it was a bit far for some of our members, especially our MD who lives in Cambridgeshire. We have temporarily booked ourselves into Needham Market Community Centre up until Christmas, we could book longer but the venue isnt accoustically pleasing, so the search continues, but we're not running around like headless chickens... There are 3 venues that we are looking at, so watch this space!

When we find a regular secure venue, we can set about recruiting... We are still recruiting but without a regular venue its kind of difficult, so we're not putting all our efforts into it as finding a venue is taking up a lot of our time.
So if you do fancy joining us, come along and take our minds off the venue hunting!

Only 9 of us this week, but what we lacked in numbers, we made up for in sound!

The VIPs are moving!
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we are having to relocate, Norton Village Hall is having a 36 week refit, and during that time it will not be open.
So what does that mean for us?
We are now looking for suitable locations in the Ipswich area for a new permanent rehearsal venue. We have been talking about moving into Ipswich for a few months, and the refit has forced our hand.
We will be trying out various venues for the next few months, and hopefully we will find a venue that suits all our needs, which we can then make our permanent rehearsal venue.
We are looking forward to the next step in the evolution of the chorus, we are hoping that being in Ipswich itself will help attract new members. Norton village hall has been a good venue, but it is out of the way.
As you can see by the map Norton is a bit of a trek from Ipswich and certainly getting there by public transport isn't even an option!
So we are hoping that being in Ipswich and more accessible, we will be able to entice new members to come and join... Fingers crossed!!!!
Spread the word, we're in Ipswich now, and looking for new members!!!!

Another night of entertaining the residents of Marham House Care Home, thank you to the staff for laying on sandwiches and drinks for the break… and a cheeky glass of pims on the way out. We do enjoy seeing the smiling faces, and the lovely comments.
