It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

​

What an amazing show week we had...a complete sell out for Elf...wow!!! A huge congratulations to everyone involved, it was such a happy, uplifting show for cast, production team and audiences alike...just what we all needed.

To continue the Christmas spirit going we have two final Christmas performances to finish the year. We have seen the latest updates to COVID-19 guidelines and have planned carefully to make sure we can all celebrate together safely.

Covid-19 Procedures for both concerts:

To make sure our audiences and our performers are safe we have put into place some Covid-19 policies and are limiting audience numbers to allow for some social distancing. After recent government update these have been expanded to include the following:

• We ask audience members to wear masks whilst inside the event (unless exempt).

• Please also take a lateral flow test before attending (wherever possible). These are not compulsory but we want to take all precautions to keep all attendees and performers safe.

• P&P may ask for your contact details for test and trace purposes (if you book online we will already have these details). Please be assured, all information provided to P&P will remain completely confidential and will only be shared with NHS test and trace if absolutely necessary and all details given to us will be removed 21 days following each concert as per all guidance.

InSpire Daytime Voices Returns...

​

Our community choir InSpire Daytime Voices started again this September!

​

The last 18 months have been challenging, but the pandemic proved how music brings people together in the most amazing ways.

​

Embracing technology, our fab Musical Director Jane (and husband Chris) spent many, many hours keeping spirits up and members in good voice with weekly YouTube rehearsals, a socially distanced 'Virtual Carol Concert', and Chairman Clare even opened her garden for outdoor rehearsals once we were allowed to gather in person again. Some days it was literally a case of Singin' In The Rain (with our amazing accompanist Corrine taking shelter in the summerhouse), but thankfully we have been able to return to our more conventional rehearsal venue, The Spire, and are pleased to be welcoming new members once again.

- After Christmas term will start again on Tuesday 11th January 2022.

​

PLEASE NOTE

We have the following Covid-19 policies in place;

• Please bring a face mask and wear when in communal areas of The Spire building,

• Please take a rapid Lateral Flow Test on the day of rehearsal before attending for the safety of all.

• Rehearsals are slightly shorter than usual, running from 10:30am-11:45 am as we aren't yet able to have our usual tea break.
