Rehearsal Chairs

Members are asked to arrive a few minutes early for rehearsals and to collect their own chair from a classroom, noting where it came from so that it can be returned to the same place at the end of the session. Sue Raynor will guide the operation when needed. Many thanks for your co-operation with this – it is important not to create difficulties for teachers at the school.
