ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW?

• We use toilet facilities in the adjacent church hall, Foster Hall. Children must be able to go to the loo themselves or with their parent/carer as we are not able to leave rehearsal or to accompany anyone due to safeguarding regulations.​​​​​​

• Parents and families are very welcome to attend rehearsals and stay in the church during the rehearsal. Tea and coffee is often available at the back of the church. We kindly request that any small children play quietly so as not to disturb our rehearsal.

• We strongly encourage at-home listening between rehearsals and provide recordings of our songs in a Google Drive folder:
