Our a' cappella group is in need of an extra Tenor and a Bass.
This friendly group has 9 singers, Sopranos Altos Tenor and Basses.
We practise each Friday morning from 10 am till 1 pm, in New Brighton.
Our repertoire is varied. Most items are short. Some are more complex and longer.
We sing for pleasure and perform about 3 times per year.
But our group is short of MEN!!
To join us you need to be able to read music and have done some choral singing.
We all learn our parts during our Friday sessions, with the help of a keyboard.
That usually takes us longer than we expect, so we allow plenty of time to learn new music.
We would like to hear from you.
Come to a practice and see what you think.
Please contact Steve on 3820896 or Liz on 3880617 for further details.
If you would like the chance to listen to our little group, have a look at my previous post headed SINGFEST18.

Do you think primary teachers and principals should be striking? Thousands of teachers have taken industrial action on Wednesday, with dozens of rallies planned around the country. They aim to gain attention for better pay, conditions and incentives to attract new teachers. Although about 30,000 people in the profession are involved in the strike, not everyone agrees with it.
So, what are your thoughts on the strike? Do you think teachers deserve better pay? Or should they have stayed around the negotiating table for longer? Are you a teacher or parent with views on the topic? Let us know in the replies!

The problem in our seas and waterways has to be addressed before it is too late. Perhaps a new industry could be started - fishing for plastic.
While any type of plastic is problematic if it is dumped in the environment, it is less so if it is either recycled or placed in licenced land fills.
Recently there has been a huge guilt pressure (by unthinking people) on supermarkets to do away with (single use plastic bags). Personally I believe they have picked the wrong target. So called single use plastic bags can be used over and over again and for a myriad of purposes and when they have fulfilled their purpose they can be responsibly disposed of. I take my plastic bags back week after week when I do my supermarket shopping and with care they last for ages.
I believe the problem that needs to be addressed are all the products that are prepacked and this doesn't only pertain to supermarkets - go to a hard ware shop ! THIS IS WHAT I WOULD DEEM AS BEING ONE USE PLASTIC and is what makes up the majority of plastic waste.
