Hi everyone, I want to ask you a favour. Can we please not use smart phones during the session. I find it very distracting and it makes it hard for me to teach you and give you the attention you all deserve. So, if we could make that a general rule from now on, I would really appreciate it. Thank you! Andrew Magic Voices 3 Alder Grove, Chapel En Le Frith United Kingdom

THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT, SO PLEASE READ TO THE END AND RESPOND BEFORE THE END OF TODAY.

So, if you were NOT at rehearsal last night, but CAN do the performance, PLEASE RESPO

Hi Everyone, The organisers have made the decision to postpone The Big Lunch event at John Leigh Park tomorrow because of the forecast for strong winds. Unfortunately, the event's insurance would be invalidated if they proceeded in those conditions, and there are also understandable safety concerns regarding gazebos, equipment and the surrounding trees. The good news is that the event has been postponed rather than cancelled, and the organisers are already looking at alternat
