Hi Shaun

Sorry to say that there is probably no regular singing in Birmingham
at the moment. However there may be others out there who would love
to get together with you and have a sing. Keep checking out this
group and see if you get any response. Otherwise you may want to
consider taking public transport to one of the all day sings (with a
Singing School at the start if you've not sung before). Newcastle
(where I live) is easily accessible by train, and the venue we picked
this year is on the Metro line direct from the Central Station -
couldn't be easier. The only down side is that you will have to
wait till July 2006!

All the best
