National Folk Festival

On the easter long weekend we performed at the National Folk Festival in Canberra.  Our performance on the Saturday was particularly enjoyable - we drew quite a large crowd and gained a few new fans from the Qi Gong massage tent nearby!  It was so great to have Kate there this year and so many choir members.

Rydal Retreat

In March we had our annual retreat at "Rydal Mount" conference centre in Rydal.  As usual we had our Italian food night on the Friday and our Indian curry night on the Saturday. We had our singing workshops with Kate on the Saturday and Sunday, some live music (by some choir members) on the Saturday night, we went on some nice walks and bike rides in the area, ate LOTS of food and drank just a little bit.  Our retreats are a great way of getting to know each other and of welcoming any new members.
