NEW GROUP: BIDFORD AREA COMMUNITY CHORUS - FIRST MEETING
Sat 4 July 2009, 2.30pm
St Laurence Church, Bidford.
To the wonderful People of Bidford:
I am looking to start up the Bidford Area Community Chorus. All ages and abilities are more than welcome, my only requirement is that you come with a smile.
I am hoping to practice weekly but there will be no demand for you to turn up every week. I would like to work towards a full production of Joseph and the Technicoloured Dreamcoat in the new year. However we can discuss this at our first meeting which will be on Saturday 4th July at 2.30pm in St Laurence Church.
Please do contact me if you cannot make the July meeting or have any other queries!
