Voicemale - Not the Chairman’s Blog - May 22nd

Morning all.

This missive is primarily for the benefit of you eighteen members who couldn't make it last night, as opposed to the 17 who did.

I'm not aware of any members who snuck off to Bilbao for the evening.

Well you really did miss a treat, Fiona certainly kept us on our toes in a whirlwind of stretching, breathing, clapping, stamping and groaning in an extended warm-up session leading on to a medley of songs in several languages including African? (Meliswe- listen to Paul's recording, quite impressive) through to Latin (Dona Nobis Pacem) and some others, thankfully in in our mother tongue.

We brushed up on Close of the day, Drovers Return and a new one for Fiona's next session with us, Take me dancing.

@ half time we caught our breaths, were amply supplied with BaaFest 2025 leaflets

( Fiona said tickets we're selling out much faster than last year so don't miss it), Paul firmed up on Feltonbury catering arrangements, and, contrary to rumours circulating,

THERE WILL BE A CHOIR SESSION NEXT WEEK.

Jon WILL be there.

Then off to Tap & Spile, (Fiona sadly declining the offer of 17 pints of Tyneside Blonde!)

and tried to placate Margo on her reduced beer sales for the evening.
