Joining and progressing with the choir
The choir is seeking to recruit new members both children and adults. We rehearse weekly on Friday evenings and sing at each Sunday morning Eucharist, and at the 6.30 service most Sundays. We do not rehearse over the school holiday so are already rehearsing for the Patronal Festival on September 10th. Speak to Simon Pusey (organist) after any service; phone 01582-794899 or email Simon.pusey@ntlworld. corn

Our choristers are put through their paces and are trained how to sing properly. They have the opportunity to take Royal School of Church Music Exams. Currently the choristers are studying for their light blue, dark blue, red and yellow medals. Some of the adults taken lessons on improving their singing so that they can also take their medals. |

This is the light blue medal for completing the first stage. The medal stays the same but the colour of the ribbon changes. More details about all the medals and the syllabuses are found on the Royal School of Church Music website.
