This is just a reminder that choir practices start up again this Thursday (1st September). If you have a copy (or better still, copies) of 'The Anthem Book of the United Free Church of Scotland' (my copy was published in 1909, and the first item is 'Will God in very deed'), please bring it/them with you.
Notes of committee meeting 2.2.12
1. All present
2. Previous minutes - agreed
3. Matters Arising - Scottish lunch - the choir singing was greatly appreciated - thanks to all who participated
4. Review of last month's anthems - satisfactory
5. Proposed anthems, introits, special services etc - list issued. Peter will be happy to accept ideas for anthems from choir members.
6. Matters raised to section reps - very cold church has been an issue over the past weeks (better tonight because heating was on earlier) - can it be on earlier during the cold period? We shall try sitting in the middle of the chancel area to see if this is 'less draughty'.
