​
Except on the 27th June, when we'll be in Room G43 in Paterson’s Land
​
​
Term Dates and Fees - Summer (April 11th to June 27th 2024)
​
Thursdays - (11 sessions) - Note there will be no practice on 6th June.
​
£5 full fee / £3 concession drop-in rate – cash or card accepted
£50 whole-term payment (£30 concession)
​
You can pay in person every time you attend (we have a card reader). However, the slightly discounted price (minus 1 session) for bulk payment is our preferred payment option. It makes it easier to track payments and means less money goes to our card reader provider.
Fees should not be a barrier to anyone attending, and if you are not in a position to pay a fee, just have a word with Anne, Joe, or Caro and we can waive it altogether. Any queries can also be sent to our treasurer Anne via castlechorus@gmail.com.
Castle Chorus Connections:
We have a private Facebook group for our members to share socially which you are welcome to join if you sing with us. We also have a WhatsApp group. Our Facebook page covers our public facing announcements and our YouTube channel is where we share any music we share online. We also have some recordings on Facebook and SoundCloud (see links below)

Castle Chorus - how we work
​
Castle Chorus is run by a voluntary committee who are informally elected at our AGM. They work with our Musical Director Caro Overy to organise concerts, workshops, other creative projects for the choir and our weekend away. Caro is employed on a freelance basis as our Musical Director and paid according to Musicians’ Union rates for her work. The committee manages our choir finances and bank account and they provide an ‘accountability filter’ of sorts for Caro!
If you have any questions or suggestions about anything related to the music we’re singing or what we’re doing creatively contact Caro on castlechorus@gmail.com.
If you have any more general questions or suggestions or any feedback, please contact the committee in person at rehearsals or via email on castlechorus@gmail.com. The inbox is regularly checked by the committee and Caro. Our committee members currently are:
​
Joe (Chair)
Anne (Treasurer)
Ciara
Maddy
Rosie
Shellie
