Returning Music: Please return everything in your folders not listed above. Remove from plastic sheets and put into an old A4 envelope. It wastes our money if you keep music “just in case it is needed again” because I don’t know this and therefore print another set. You then end up with two sets and choir funds go down. Each side of A4 costs us 10p.

Directions: I went this way but there are other routes. From the end of the dual carriageway south of the Humber Bridge (junction with M180/A180) go straight across onto A18. Pass Humberside International Airport and continue to Laceby roundabout on A46:- easy to spot as there is a Mercedes dealer on one corner and a derelict Little Chef on the other. Turn right onto A46:- fast road, stupid drivers. This takes you straight to Caistor. You pass Swallow on your left. Park in square or by church (LN7 6UG). Narrow streets, steep hill, friendly natives.

Annual Meal?? At Swallow (4 miles east of Caistor on A46) is the Swallow Inn. I tried to persuade the manager to provide a fixed price menu for a group of 25 or so but failed. However, they do a very good “2 for the price of 1” menu. If interested, see www.theswallowinn.co.uk from whence you can download a menu, or phone 01472 371 250 or e-mail info@theswallowinn.co.uk). Four of us each had a substantial main meal there:- £30 in total.

Directions Unless you have a SatNav (the code needed is HU7 4TL) I suggest you make your usual way to our normal rehearsal venue but don’t turn off the A165 (Freetown Way) to Saint Paul’s:- continue on eastwards. Cross the George Street bridge into Witham but turn immediate left into New Cleveland Street (A1165) Continue forward at next roundabout and you are now on Stoneferry Road (A1033). Forward at next roundabout leaving B & Q on your left. At next roundabout turn right into Leads Road (B1237). Continue until you reach another roundabout with Church Street on your right. Turn into Church Street and Saint James is soon on your left. Park where you can!

Notes and Travel Directions
This Chapel is a Georgian gem. Pevsner’s book on the Buildings of Yorkshire lists it as the finest in the county. It has an unaltered U-shaped gallery of box pews (even better than RHB) from which they have asked us to sing. Access is up a steep flight of steps. Cellists will find it difficult:- double bassists impossible.

Get to Newport on the old A63, now the B1230. It is not far from the M62/A63 junction. In the village look for the Methodist Centre (with clock) on the north side of the road. Toilets in this building. The Chapel is hidden behind. Park on main road or side streets. Satnav code HU15 2RG.

Annual Dinner on 11 January 2009 A discussion at Cawood suggested that most of us would prefer a sit-down meal rather than a buffet. The best venue seems to be Reeds Hotel near Barton, on the road to Winterton just west of the Humber Bridge. For £13.95 they offer two courses and coffee. Main courses are Beef, Turkey, Lamb, Haddock, Tagliatelli with mushrooms for vegetarians. Desserts are hot or cold (no details). With luck they will allow us to rehearse after lunch. (The Church at Barton has a Baptism in the afternoon which prevents us from getting in as early as we would like.) To book the meal, the hotel wants £5 deposits from everyone attending. Please bring £5 each to the November rehearsal and be prepared to commit yourself if we all agree to use Reeds Hotel.

We might do “O come loud anthems” instead of Catsfield if we have enough instruments and the conductor is satisfied.
You can hide Grimsby away in a dark corner until I need the music back next year!
If you are short of any music let me know well before the day.

Directions to Cawood. (Church postcode is YO8 3SN)
Pretty, vaguely Dutch-type village on River Ouse where the B1222 and B1223 cross, south of York and north of Selby. Do not attempt to reach Cawood via Bubworth as A163 will probably be closed there. Church is just off B1223. Ignore building looking like a church near traffic lights in centre of village and go along Selby Road (B1223) to Church End. Turn left into Church End and keep going. Church soon appears on your left. Plenty of space to park on road. Disabled toilet within. 8 chairs for instrumentalists who should be able to fit in front of chancel arch. Singers will have to use choir stalls but they look reasonably spacious. Conductor in Aisle. Acoustic seems OK. Harrison & Harrison organ!

Use of e-mailing In response to comments I am trying the following system. Each monthly circular will appear as text on your screen so you can read it without opening the attachment. There will be a PDF version of the same document with the e-mail which will open if you click on it, provided you have a PDF reader. You can download a PDF reader free from the Adobe website if you don’t already have one in your machine. It pays to get the latest version. I hope this satisfies everyone.....

Wolds Apart Circular September #2
Regrettably Caistor has withdrawn its invitation for October because of organisational problems - the Vicar has been landed with another 3 churches.
We might go there later in 2009 (May has been mooted). Any offers for an Evensong, especially from the South Bank?

Meantime, what do we do with the blank Sunday in October? Another rehearsal? A pow-wow to discuss how we might organise meetings in the future? Open forum on selection of music? As Steve is away in September please route your suggestions/comments to Roger Hateley initially

Special workshop run by Paul Guppy.

PLEASE be there as soon after 1.30 as possible so we can start singing at 2.00pm.

We should end by 5.00pm with short tea break halfway through.

Music will be provided on the day except for Grimsby. Please bring it.

Directions to Robin Hood's Bay (near Whitby) Leave the A 171 for B 1447 at Hawsker. The church is on the right part way down a very steep hill. You can park at the top of the hill but it is a fair walk. Toilets are in a bungalow down the road which forks to the right just before the church. Box pews. Narrow stairs. Very awkward for big instruments.

Directions to Roxby, a charming small agricultural hamlet:- Roxby is 2 miles south of Winterton and 5 miles north of Scunthorpe on the A1077. From the Humber Bridge take the first off-ramp for Barton as soon as you have crossed the bridge. At the huge roundabout turn right and you are on the A1077. Once past Winterton you can clearly see the church on your left across the open fields. Avoid parking near the church as you might get bumped by a large tractor.
Toilets and tea in the Methodist Hall nearby.

Link to map of Roxby is on our website, thanks to Tim.
