Great rehearsal last night, thank you very much.

A pair of glasses was found at the end of the evening - soprano side, 3rd row back, prescription +2.25 - let me know if you need them ..... (mind you I think they're reading glasses so maybe the person can't see this?!!)

If you took a poster last week would you mind crayoning on the letters 'ed' after the word Reform please?! Sorry about that. The good news is that all of the committee never noticed! I'll bring some more posters next week.

Sopranos and Altos: Pauline has been selling the green scarves (subtle colour coding for this section don't you think?!) so you can look the part for the concerts. Please ensure that you have one for the Easter and May concerts.

Male tenors and basses your dress code is: Black! trousers, shirts (open necked), jackets. (No rose)

Lady tenors: Black shirts and bottoms (!). Peggy is making the green dangly scarf for you (Thank you Peggy). I can't remember the price :(

Here's my email if, for any reason, you need to contact me - sjbullock1@googlemail.com

Chris (alto) has sent me this link which gives you a translation of the requiem, very useful and will help you capture the right mood. Thanks Chris.

Jokes

When I was a teacher I had a nervous tic so everyone got really good marks.

I just saw a bloke going up a hill with a shopping trolley full of horseshoes, four-leaf clovers and rabbits feet. I thought: “he's pushing his luck.”

I think that men who shorten their name to Pat are missing a trick.
