This is so true

Everyone deserves the path to be clear.

We have done an exercise similar to this in our warm up at Secret Singers, it felt fabulous!

It is my intention to restart classes on Tuesday 11th Jan 2022 for Marple and East Lancs and Wednesday 12th for Todmorden, unless any new restrictions come into force before then.
I know that the infection rate has gone up massively but people who have had their 3 jabs are well protected from serious and life threatening disease, so they say, and also if we all look after each other by not coming to class if we have any symptoms or a positive LFT I think it is worth a go.
The other things we are doing are…..
We have lovely big airy rooms and can use the CO2 monitor to check ‘freshness levels’ ( this worked really well last term)
We make contactless payments
Sanitizer is available on entry
We only touch that which is our own wherever possible
We wear a mask on entry and exit
I also plan to add one more thing to our Covid protection protocol and that is not to have the social break in the middle of class. I hope this will be a temporary arrangement as having a chat is part of the fun but probably the most dangerous part. We will therefore finish slightly earlier but still have the same amount of singing time. Of course people can socialise after class if they wish to -outside the building. You will still have the opportunity to sit down and have a drink during class time.
I hope that these measures will give you confidence to come and sing. We have plenty of room for more singers too.
I look forward to seeing you very soon

Dear Singers,
On Monday 6th Dec an event is being created for a light switch on for the Simonstone Christmas tree with lots of Christmas festivities in the Simonstone School grounds including visits to Santa and food and mulled wine and mince pies and elves and goodness only knows what else. The organisers have contacted me to provide a ‘choir’ to lead the community (which they estimate will be around 300) in the singing of Christmas songs and carols. If you would like to be part of this I am sure it will be fun.
Please let my know if you can come, it would be great to have a bit of a sing!
It starts at 6pm with lighting the tree and the Carol’s will be sometime after that but I can’t say exactly when at this moment in time.
I hope you will come along
