Coronavirus update

We resumed singing indoors from October 2021 and are now back singing in a circle, enjoying seeing each other and fully hearing all the lovely harmonies. We are still keeping at least 1m distance between singers as per covid guidance. We are also enjoying having a break for socialising so we can get to know each other better!
