We love to raise the roof with our singing, and now we've helped to do it literally. We were asked to perform at St John's Church in Hurst Green, Oxted to help with their fund raising campaign for a new extension. They hope to start work on the project in the coming months.

We love to raise the roof with our singing!

The concert was excellent performance preparation for our new members who are looking forward to competing at Regional Convention next month. They joined us on stage for the second half of our programme including our competition package.

Our Assistant Director Valerie Taylor has reached a very important milestone in her bid to become a Sweet Adelines judge – the first in Britain.

Certified Judges Betty Clipman, Lea Beverley, Diane Porsch
and Jan Meyer - with Valerie trial scoring

This coming weekend (2-3 May) she will be on trial at her first Regional Competition – in Sweden. It means Valerie will sit alongside the four appointed judges and mark the competitors as they do – only her scores won’t count. Instead they will be assessed by Sweet Adelines to make sure that she is marking correctly.

Forthcoming events...

We now have the date for our annual appearance at Fairfield Halls in Croydon. It will be Tuesday July 29th at 1pm. We hope to see many of our old friends there. It's one of our favourite engagements of the year, and we know many of supporters also look forward to it.

We are already planning for our own show at the Harlequin Theatre in Redhill in November. Saturday 29th November is the date for your diaries. We are learning lots of new music at the moment which will know will go down a storm with audiences. We'll keep you in suspense as to what they are!

All that and a new "Learn to Sing" course as well most probably in late August/early September.
