<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Following the latest government advice concerning the Coronavirus outbreak, We feel that we
shall now have to suspend all rehearsals and concerts from now until after the
summer break. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
We hope that you understand the reasoning behind this decision,
as it is in line with so many other developments.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Please contact anybody you know who comes to our concerts
and let them know of this decision.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
It is hoped that we will be able to reconvene for Sunday 27th September but that will obviously depend on the Government's advice at that time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Please all keep safe and we will post a decision for September in due course</div>
