May concert
The
rehearsals are going well for our May concert “At the Movies”. Geoff has again
assembled a great program, which will include songs from Saturday Night Fever,
High School Musical, Titanic, Chariots of Fire and Mamma Mia, plus many more
great numbers. The choir members are
practising hard and are quite excited by the very
memorable songs, which will no doubt thrill the audiences. I have even heard a rumour that “Elvis” is
making an appearance – make sure you don’t miss it.

New Committee
Welcome
to Heather Ponting, taking a major role as our new President and Elaine King as
a new committee member. Many thanks also
to Rob Miller as our retiring President.
Thanks
Thanks
to Jeff Ponting for cutting the grass around the car park. This makes the area much nicer for the
members when they are traversing from their cars to the shed.
Thanks
also for the chair donations – making our members a little more comfortable at
practice.
Working bee
A
working bee will be held at “The Shed” on Saturday 28th
of March from 1.30pm for a couple of hours. It would be greatly appreciated
if we could get four able bodied men. The work will involve some minor repairs and
maintenance. Ph Rod
Mauger 03 5825 4001 for more info.
