Hi folks

If it seems like ages since you heard anything from this group, then
that's because it /is/ ages since it was last used. As you probably
know, our MD Jane took her other choir Deep C Divas to Australia for the
Gay Games and she and her partner Rhiannon took the chance to have the
trip of a lifetime by coming back the long and scenic way.

In Jane's absence we've continued to rehearse with a number of guest
conductors, all of whom introduced us to new techniques and repertoire -
and one of whom even wrote a piece specially for us.

We'll be showcasing some of this new material, and revisiting some old
favourites, after Jane's return next month. We've booked the Great Hall
at Leeds University for Saturday 7th June. More details to follow, but
you can pencil the date into your diaries now.

And if you'd like to feel part of the event (and save yourself a few
quid while you're at it) then become a FLOGA. Friends & Lovers Of Gay
Abandon help out on the day: setting up in the afternoon, front-of-house
stuff like selling or checking tickets, meeting & greeting, and striking
the set in the evening. You'll be asked to help with one or two specific
tasks, you'll see the concert for free, and sometimes we give away FLOGA
t-shirts.

If you'd like to be a FLOGA for the night, please email Addie Orfila
<addie_orfila@...>; put FLOGA in the subject line (because you
don't want to be confused with all the spam that gets into hotmail) and
let her know whether you're available for the afternoon, the evening,
either, or both.
