Plans for the SDFS singers this year
A meeting has been set up for several members of the group to look at what venues we should sing at this year. Popular favourites were The Arundel Festival (August) and singing at the 'Sussex Day 'in June. It would also be nice to sing carols again too. As soon as anything has been decided the dates will be published on the blog and we hope you will reply to us saying you can sing with us. In the meantime.........Belloc Celebration Day, Saturday 23rd February
This event is being organised by Gerard Henratty of the Belloc blog
Starting Saturday afternoon and going on to the evening. A Pub and Singing - what could be better! see the 'February Page' on the blog
