The readings will be from the lectern and David will be provided with the separate vicar’s microphone to announce songs and then be able to switch off during each song.
We will be situated in the chancel in the choir stalls, with additional chairs to sit on and then stand for the song sets.
Suggested apparel would include anything green, blue or cream.
Drinks and nibbles will be provided in the interval.
Please arrive by 7.00pm at the latest and park either in the farmyard or beyond the Church as directed.
If you wish to come earlier in the afternoon to view the other elements of the Festival and perhaps bring a picnic supper you will be directed to the main field for parking.
Contact mobile for the evening is John C. – 07542 167828
All singers wishing to participate should email John as we need to inform the event organisers how many of us there will be.
