There is NO charge for attending your first rehearsal and membership forms are available to collect at every rehearsal . The choir rehearsals are in 4 terms of 10 weeks and members pay per term £4 per session, this covers room and piano hire, music, admin and musician fees. You do not need to join at the start of a term, you can simply come along to any rehearsal and pick up a members form should you wish to join the choir - your fee will then be worked out for the remainder of that term.
