Huw and Alice are both ill unfortunately, so we're going to have to cancel tonight's rehearsal I'm afraid. Sorry about this. Please help to spread the word to everyone in the choir. We look forward to seeing you all next week!

Tonight's rehearsal is cancelled unfortunately, because of the icy conditions. Please spread the word and let everyone in the choir know. We've also sent out an email.
It was fab to see so many people there at our first rehearsal of the New Year last week! Looking forward to seeing you all next week and continuing to practise for our exciting St David's Day concert!

It was wonderful to see so many people there at our first rehearsal of the term on Thursday! Great to catch up with you all, welcome new faces and hear your uplifting singing! 😀🎵 September is a really good time of year to try out something new. If you or someone you know would like to try out the choir, just come along to a rehearsal - Thursdays, 7.15pm at Garth Olwg Lifelong Learning Centre.

Well done everyone for your fantastic singing at our Spring concert - our first concert for over 2 years! I hope you all have a lovely Easter break and look forward to seeing you for the start of our new term of rehearsals on Thu 28th April.

Hi all,

To confirm, rehearsals start back this Thursday (13 Jan). We hope to have a concert on March 25th.

Welsh Government guidelines currently limit the number of people that can gather in an indoor space - the limit is 30. So, after discussion, here is how we are currently running choir rehearsals:

Low voices: 7:15pm – 8:30pm, Function Room (our usual room upstairs)

High voices: 7:45pm – 9:00pm, Theatre (on the same level as reception)

- If you have tested positive for Covid or are displaying symptoms, please do not attend rehearsals.
- All choir members are encouraged to take a lateral flow test before attending rehearsals (this is not compulsory).
- Sanitise hands on arrival / exit.
- Face coverings are to be worn at all times (unless exempt) inside the building. Face coverings may be removed whilst singing.
- Chairs will be positioned 2m apart, to maintain social distancing.
- Doors / windows will be slightly open to allow for extra ventilation. You may want to ensure you have a warm jumper or coat to put on.
- We will have a shorter break than usual, and during this time we ask that you remain in your chair.

Thank you for taking the time to read the updated guidance we have in place. Hopefully, these current limitations won’t be in place for much longer!

Spring term fees (£10) are now due. You can use the following link to pay online: www.rctcbc.gov.uk/musicserviceensemble

See you on Thursday!

Alice, Huw, and Mike

Dear all,

Happy New Year! We hope you had a lovely Christmas break. Just a reminder that choir rehearsals will start back next week on Thursday 13th January, so there is no rehearsal tonight.

You may be aware that we are now limited to 30 singers indoors, so we are currently deciding on how to manage this requirement. We may split the choir into high and low voices or ask you to book a place in advance of rehearsals. We will confirm this before next Thursday.

Thank you for your patience. We look forward to seeing you next week!

Best wishes,
Alice, Huw and Mike
