Prospective new members
New members can contact the Membership Secretary (Janet Gaskell – email link to her is on the right of this page, or on the ‘Join us’ page or the ‘Contact us’ page of this website) to request details and Membership Form etc.
Rehearsal attendance
It is expected that all members will commit themselves to a high level of attendance across the year. We normally expect at least a 75% attendance level for the season – and 100% for the rehearsals immediately before a concert.
If for any reason you foresee difficulties with your own expected attendance level please consult your Section Representative. Currently these are: Sopranos – Janet Gaskell; Altos – Sally Pugh; Tenors – Neil Ramsay; and Basses – Edgar Bignell.
Rehearsal aids
Many members use the midi files on the John Fletcher website which can be found here.
This is his new site, and access to it has changed. To access the John Fletcher rehearsal materials you will now need a personal password, rather than the general one as previously.
Most of the items we are preparing will be found on the John Fletcher web site. If you would like to hear your own voice line, when it is not clear on a conventional recording, this is the place to go.
If you are not already signed up there are still a few vacant places in our membership allocation.
To join you will need to give our Treasurer (who can be emailed via the ‘Contact Us’ link on the right) your first name and surname plus your email address. She will then arrange for John Fletcher to send you your own unique password so that you can freely access the site.
Please note, music which is now out of copyright can be accessed on the John Fletcher site without logging in.
