1) Birmingham
2) Bridport Response 1
3) Psalm 23 "The Lord of life my shepherd is" [Psalm]
4) Psalm 98 Bethleham "Sing to the Lord a new made song" [Replaces Magnificat]

Psalm 67. Pat said on Sunday that there is a better way of singing the "Mercy Lord" bars. I was too dim to take this in at the time but since then Richard & Margaret have provided a printed version. If we have time we will try it out at Hessle but we may have to leave it until the next rehearsal. Thank you (all three) for pointing this out

To get there from the big roundabout at the north end of the Humber Bridge, go along the dual carriageway towards Hull for about a mile until you reach the next roundabout. This has a huge metal footbridge draped all over it. Turn right. This road takes you straight to the Church in the middle of Hessle (about half a mile). Those with local knowledge say that there is parking behind the church/church hall and (also free) at a nearby supermarket.

Any queries to Roger Hateley please (01430 810481)

Help wanted with our documentation We need a volunteer to produce and keep tabs on the Hymn, Service and Evensong handouts given to the congregation. A word processor and access to e-mail would be useful but not essential. More details from Roger.

. Annual Dinner at the Light Dragoon, Etton near Beverley.

Etton is 1 mile west of the B1248 Malton/Beverley road. From the Bridge take A164 to A1079 Beverley bypass. At Killingwoldgraves roundabout take 3rd exit labelled Malton/Driffield/Bridlington and at next roundabout (1 mile) take a left onto B1248. Turn for Etton is on your left after about 1.5 miles at the bottom of a hill. Pub is in middle of village on your right. Be careful!! B1248 is notorious for mad motorbikers on Sundays.
Meet to eat at 1.00pm.

The annual dinner menu will be:- Soup or Melon, Roast turkey or Nut Roast, both with vegetables, Christmas Pudding or Cold Dessert. 2 courses for £10.50 or all 3 for £12.00. Pay on the day. Please bring the correct change!! One drink will be free, paid for out of the Quire “kitty”.Further drinks and coffee extra. SEE BELOW!

Slight change of plan! To be fairer to the soft drink consumers, instead of having one free drink, please pay for all of your liquid consumption. To compensate, the Treasurer will subsidise each meal with a donation from the kitty. How much depends on how full the kitty is!

Move to Lund church hall at 2.45pm (about 3 miles north of Etton). I will give out a map of Lund on the day.
Rehearse at 3.00pm. Sing at 5.00pm. Tea afterwards.

I shall ask the church to provide hot drinks in their church hall when we arrive there about 2.45pm.
The only toilet is there. Make good use of the pub facilities!
If you prefer you can come direct to Lund church. There is a good pub next door (The Wellington) which provides excellent meals.

Music we have finished with for now: Please sort out all the pieces in your folders not listed above before we next meet ready to hand in.

(This includes the 'Christmas Anthem'). Please return any outstanding Christmas music - by post if necessary.
