Points raised by Leaders:
|
The appointment of a new organist/choirmaster would be most welcome.
Out of the choir fund, music storage units have been purchased. At present, the music is being organised into these units, which should prove to be helpful.
A request was made for coat rack(s) upstairs, similar to those which have been put downstairs in the church.

Points raised by Elders:
|
As a congregation we are so very fortunate to have Peter in our choir who can so ably ‘hold the fort’ until we are in a position to appoint a new organist. Peter is doing a wonderful job and deserves a special thank you for this.
The choir committee continues to meet on a regular basis and my thanks to Barbara –Ann for sending me the minutes of these meetings.
