PATRONS
.
Dear Patrons,
During the Lockdown we have been maintaining a special “Lockdown” page in the Members’ section in an attempt to keep people in touch with each other. As Covid-19 seems to be continuing longer than we had expected, I thought we should add this similar page for our Patrons.
.
.
I shall attempt to keep you up to date with patron-related information, funnies and other items you might find of interest. Our Patrons are a very important part of our Choir. We don’t know what we would do without you and we look forward to seeing you at Toll Gavel and elsewhere as soon as it is humanly possible. Might we even go off on another weekend away together during the next year or so? Hmm. Depends on Mr Covid.
Remember that you can always contact me with any requests, offerings, complaints or suggestions, preferably by email – julianmusik@icloud.com
This also applies to any non-patrons who might have strayed onto this page and might wish to join us. Most of our patrons have been with us for many years, so there must be something good in it for them! Further details can be found on the “About the Choir” page of this website.
Best wishes and a hasty return to normality to you all
Julian Musik

Patrons of long standing, as well as widows of departed members, will I am sure also be interested in the material on the “Memorabilia” and “Lest we Forget” pages under “About the Choir”.

“NHS” scam
My daughter received the below. At the same time Humberside Police warned about it through NW. I realise that our Patrons would not be so gullible, but you might know someone elderly who receives it.
Blob Opera
A contribution from Richard Pollard of Driffield MVC and an old friend of BMVC. Great fun (both Richard and the Blob Opera). Easily possible to play for an hour!
Some very good thoughts – some seen before, some not (by me, anyway)

Here’s something to make you sit up!
Hon(ourable) Secretary
Steve Horner was for very many years a NHS technician before his retirement some years ago and felt it his duty to go back and help out, on a voluntary basis, during the current Covid crisis.
He started work in Ward 9, HRI, in a liaison and communications capacity on Monday 16th November and promises to be very careful. The Chairman expresses the best wishes and compliments of the Choir to Steve on his public-spirited course of action.
