News

IMPORTANT
Message to members from the Chair on Tuesday 17 March 2020
 You will all have heard the news on Monday which has resulted in our taking the difficult decision to cancel our forthcoming concert. I know this is disappointing as I believe it would have been a truly memorable occasion reflecting our growing choral prowess achieved under the baton of Laurence.   I know you may have many questions but please be assured we are doing all we can to undo arrangements already made and I would ask that, for the next few days at least you leave the inbox undisturbed. 
 For now, could I ask that any posters pinned anywhere are taken down- but only if you feel able to do so with minimal risk to yourselves. 
Ticket refund arrangements will be put in hand by Odile as soon as possible but please do be patient and understanding. 
It is unlikely the AGM will take place as planned in May - initially we would look towards the first week in September but please watch this space. Further information will be sent as needed.

• WELLY WEEKLY:  Great review of Brahms although article said Bach! New Grant for lighting also featured.(see opposite).
• NEW CHAIR:  Congratulations to Adrian Cross, WCS's new Chairman! 
• Karl Jenkins, The Armed Man:  Details of scores and practice aids are now available via Practice Aids on the Members drop-down menu..
• EASY FUNDRAISING:  When you buy anything online - from presents for family and friends to your weekly shop - you could be raising a free donation for Wellington Choral Society. So far, 14 members are signed up, and between them have raised £188. For more information, go to Fundraising when you shop online​​
