We won’t turn anyone away! HOW DO I JOIN? To book your place, please email us at [email protected] and details will be provided. WHAT COMMITMENT DO I HAVE TO GIVE? Payment for choir membership is by term (£42) which will be required in advance of the first session of each term. This is a rolling choir with 7 week 'mini terms' throughout the year. We anticipate having approximately 6 terms per year with pauses during main holiday times such as Easter. Unlike many choirs, you will not have to pay when the choir has seasonal breaks and you do not have to join every term. This fee represents great value compared to most professionally led choirs. It's important to us that the Sopwell Singers is accessible to anyone in the community, so we are raising funds to provide places for those unable to pay but who will benefit greatly from being involved. WHAT ABOUT COVID AND RESTRICTIONS? We will follow government guidelines and ask that members please take a lateral flow test on Wednesday's before coming to rehearsals. The church hall is large enough to be physically distanced and there is ventilation. Any other questions? Please email [email protected]
