Time to Socialise!

Well, I'm sitting in the warmth of my house, hearing the rain lashing against the windows and the wind howling all around! It's been a mixed week, we've had a lot of torrential rain which has left many people struggling with floods, the Queen has visited Bristol and we've had our first choir social!

On Wednesday there was an unexpected turn of events when poor Geraldine was stuck in terrible traffic due to a river bursting its banks and a 50 mile journey ended up taking 4 and half hours! This meant that Em (who had been thinking she wouldn't be doing much that night!) ended up taking the whole evening but it was a joy and we raised the roof of the Beachley Walk Centre! Then we had a lovely hour munching on cake, cheese, crisps etc and sipping our tea. These "choir socials" are always a great chance for people to talk to people they haven't really talked to before. 

The lovely Shirehampton GGCC family.




Now well and truly in the last stages of rehearsals for our concerts, the songs are really coming together and everyone is up for working hard and making them sound the best they can. Solos and small groups are being finalised and next week we have Westbury GGCC social, followed by Easton GGCC the following week.

First concert is two weeks today!!!

Week 5!

Well it's now November, we are in week five of our GGCC term and the concerts aren't far away! All the plans are coming together nicely and I should be emailing out posters for all three concerts any day now, just putting the finishing touches to them.

We have been asked to sing at the term shows for 'Funk It Up' dance school on Friday 30th November and Saturday 1st December over in Filton. We'll be opening the show and helping with the finale! Both shows are 7-8pm. I've seen some pictures from previous shows and they look great, should be a good night out.

Geraldine is away working in Malaysia this week. So, Em & Naomi are leading all this weeks rehearsals. They did the Westbury GGCC last night and had lots of fun, looking forward to Shire tonight and Easton tomorrow!

That's it for now! Stay warm
