The Enfield Choirs Showcase is being held in aid of the Nightingale Cancer Support Centre on Saturday 28th September. The organisers have now decided to let all choir members have seats in the auditorium (no donation required). There will be a raffle should you want to take part on the day, so please bring some money.
If you find you cannot after all use your place, please let Lesley J know asap at chair@enfieldchoralsocisty.org.uk as it can then be made available to a member of the public.
We have now heard that we will be first on. Our Schedule is as follows:
