Happy Christmas to everyone and I hope you have a chance to sing, don't forget that there is a session at the Crown on Thursday the 27th - hope to see you there. Jon

Last night's session cancelled

Unfortunately many of us couldn't make it last night so it was decided to cancel the session. I hope everyone got a message either by email or word of mouth. Apologies to anyone who did turn up to find a darkened Parish Room!
