Sarah-Jane's Updates
We're beginning to make some progress and it's getting exciting!
2nd sops, keep listening to the links below then invite a 1st sop round for a cuppa and see if you can both sing your parts at the same time!
No new music for this week (12th Nov) but we will definitely be singing Santa Claus is coming to town and the Angels Carol.
​
Have you all seen the info on Good enough for HIm or were you wondering what the person you sit next to was singing last week when it looked different to your music?! If in doubt, send me an email to check you're singing the right part.
​​
​​​​​​​Have you all done this? On the membership cards that you were given, can you please scrub out the word "April" and insert the month "March" instead?
Also, please add Sunday 14th December, 2.30pm for the Rosedale Christmas memorial service. Thanks!​​
If you need to contact me for any reason, here's my email: sjbullock1@googlemail.com
