Rehearsals in all the usual places: 6.30-8pm.
Fourth week of term. We're back from Spetses.
As ever, please come prepared with your own music in whatever form you like it - printed, phone, tablet... We don't hand out sheet music, but if you forget there will be a QR code to this week's music on the reception desk. As ever, it would help if you have a listen to the recordings beforehand if they're available.
Registration links for the online rehearsals are as follows:

All our venues have hand sanitiser and we'll keep them as well ventilated as we can. You're very welcome to wear a mask or not as you wish. Please be kind and respect other people's decisions. As ever, please do not attend if you're feeling ill.

If you're planning to be a regular online member, it's definitely worth trying out Jamulus, which is what quite a few of our members use alongside Zoom. Basically, if you don't use Jamulus, you have to remain muted while you're singing. If you use Jamulus, the software routes your audio through to a special server which means that you're able to sing in real-time with the other people who are also on there. It's a bit fiddly to get set-up, but we're happy to help you if you're prepared to do some of the work too. You need a wired ethernet connection (not wifi) and wired headphones. Mac users have an easier time of the installation process.
We meet in the main hall of Oasis Academy Johanna primary school, accessed via the gate at the end of Johanna St (off Lower Marsh). Our Waterloo branch normally attracts around 60 people.
The school is wheelchair accessible and has an accessible toilet.
Entrance on Johanna Street
