SINGING TOGETHER AGAIN

The plan as it stands at the moment (but which is subject to change of course) is to meet in the Abbey Gardens on Park Walk for a 7 o’clock start and run on until 8.30 p.m. To minimise mixing, we will not have a refreshment break and we would also ask that the four parts do not interact socially. We will not need to wear masks and are seeking guidance whether or not outdoor activity advises 1m or 2m social distancing. We will need to take a register of names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses on the first occasion but thereafter just tick people off as they arrive. You will need to bring a chair and, maybe a blanket too. The weather is a crucial factor of course and a decision as to whether or not we meet in the Abbey or on Zoom will be made at 5.00 p.m. each week, but then maybe the Town Hall will be possible by the end of the month. This resumption of live singing is rather later than some of us had hoped and the organisation rather pernickety too, but I am sure it is better to be safe than sorry.
