Here’s what you need to know.

The Baptist church is on the junction of Musters Road and Melton Road. The parking is rubbish. If you’re driving, please car share wherever you can. If you’re having Liberty Banger Cocktails afterwards, please don’t drive at all.

4pm Lucie’s helpers arrive – set up in the hall refreshments etc

4.30pm Singers arrive. If you’ve brought cakes etc please take through to the hall. There will be people there to show you the way.

4.45-5.30pm Singers to soundcheck and get on and off stage. Please be patient – this is the most boring bit of any concert and I’ll need your full attention throughout. We’ll have one song each form each group and practice getting on and off stage. Please note that during the performance you can stay and watch the others but you won’t have an audience seat. You can also go into the hall and be seated there if that’s preferable. If you need a seat to perform, please ask somebody near you to help out – do not struggle on your own.
