At the rehearsal on Sunday 15th March, we realised that we really had no option but to suspend rehearsals for the time being until the situation with the Corona virus is more stable. So for now all rehearsals are cancelled.
Update for 4th October 2020
Groups of us have been meeting to play outdoors but now that winter is coming, we have been able to book St Paul’s on Sundays from 3.30pm to 8pm so groups can meet there if they like. We will have to follow strict guidelines.
