VIVA! – New start time

by Kathie Prince Music

IMPORTANT CHANGE: Following a ‘straw poll’ last term, that showed most folk in favour of an earlier start time, after this first week back (i.e. normal start time of 8pm) we will be starting earlier at 7:30. So, Thursday 2nd May will be the first Thursday of the new time.  BUT, this new time means we will also be alternating between being in the main hall and the community room next door when the cello group are practising in the former. It means parking will be more challenging as cellist will be using the DBH carpark when we arrive these weeks.
