Friday 28th October Australian War Memorial Gig
We are still a little on the light side for the AWM Army Apprentice gig on Friday 28 October - 1.30 for 2pm, if you can make it please do so. Normal uniform, brown hats, blue spray jackets at the ready and blue folders.
Friday 10th & 11th November Australian War Memorial Gigs
While on the AWM please keep in mind that we have two more performances coming up on 10th November (HMAS Hobart) and of, course, Remembrance Day on the 11th. The latter is the one of the two AWM events where the new blazer will be worn.
Friday 18th November Annual Recognition Dinner
Remember to add your names to attend our Annual Recognition Dinner. Payment is $40 per person and early payment would be appreciated. This is an important event in our annual programme requiring a fair bit of planning and arrangement.
Moreover it is one of the few occasions you will see our Treasurer, Rick McDresser open his heart and his bag to help subsidise the cost for the event. So go ahead and add your name next training night.
ARC Patron Award
The Patron Award will be presented again this year and Robert Macaulay will again act as Returning Officer for conducting the voting by members. Robert will be providing information about the award and procedures in the near future so please start considering who you believe is a worthy recipient this year.
Every member is invited, indeed encouraged, to nominate the person he considers has contributed outstanding service to the ARC during 2011. Anyone closely associated with the Choir can be nominated.
Nominations can be made by email to or by handing a sealed envelope to Robert Macaulay, the Award Coordinator, with your nomination inside and your name on the outside. All nominations are held in confidence by the Recorder.
It is MOST HELPFUL, although not mandatory, if you provide a few lines or paragraph(s) as to why you have nominated that particular person. This helps the Recorder prepare notes for the Patron when he makes the Award. Nominations close at midnight on 15 November.
London Group
The London Group will have seen Rick's message advising that next Sunday's special practice session has had to be postponed to the following week, as Andrea unexpectedly has to be in Melbourne. Apologies all round on this.
Regards
Paul
