Spencer (Charlie) Challenger

Hello Boys, Please note I have changed the date I originally booked and gave you at Choir practice last week. The old date was 22 May the new date is 29 May. So the Choir Golf Society Day will be at Bulbury Woods on Wednesday 29 May 2019. All new members are welcome, most of us play off 28 if we are lucky. The first tee off time is 9.56, so I suggest you get there by 9.30 to enjoy a coffee before we start. The cost for the day is £25 pp plus £25 for those who wish to hire a buggy (£12.50 each if sharing). The day includes a round of golf, a lunch from their Summer sizzler menu (Ham, egg and chips or gourmet burger and chips) and prizes. What good value!! Names to me please asap. Thank you Charlie Challenger

The aim of the day is to have fun singing with others and to learn from experts who will be taking various Workshops. There’s a Musical Theatre Workshop, a Choral Singing Workshop and Barbershop. Musical Theatre will be taken by Paul Michael who is a classically trained opera singer. Paul has performed all over the world and has also sung in several West End productions. Barbershop will be taken by Tim Nuttall, MD for Southern Union Chorus and he also sings with the award winning barbershop group, Chromatix. The Choral Workshop will be taken by John Watkins, MD of Dorset Chamber Choir and John is also a member of Dorset Chamber Orchestra. These people are giving their time freely to raise money for Forest Holme Hospice. The cost of the day is £20 but if you pay me by the end of February, there is an ‘early bird’ offer of £17. I went last year and it was EXCELLENT, helpful, encouraging and fun. Also, in the evening there is a concert which will include Paul Michael , Tim Nuttall and Chromatix as well as Mixed Choir, Vivamente and Ladies Choir, Cantelina. Tickets are £7. Come and enjoy the day and the evening concert. Charlie Challenger.

The Choir Golf Day has been booked for Wednesday 13 March 2019 at Moors Valley. First tee-off will be 10.00am. The day includes 18 holes of golf, lunch and prizes. Total cost £26.50. All Choir Members are welcome. It would be good to see some of the newer members join us as it gives them an opportunity to get to know other choir members and it is a very enjoyable non-serious social event, a fun day. Don’t be embarrassed as 80% of us have a 28 handicap (or worse). We will probably play a Texas Scramble format. Please give your names to me (Charlie Challenger) asap. I have had to pay a £80 deposit so would appreciate a £6.50 deposit from you and you can pay the £20 balance on the morning. We usually arrive at the venue by 9.30am for a coffee and perhaps a bacon butty before teeing off and to sort out the teams. Regards Charlie Challenger
