Rehearsals
Rehearsals are on Monday nights, 7.45pm - 9:45, with breaks over Christmas, Easter, and summer holidays.
We rehearse in Trinity Church, Nether Street, North Finchley, N12 7NN. The church is close to Tally Ho bus station, convenient for local buses (numbers 82, 125, 134, 221, 263, 383, 460), and five minutes walk from Woodside Park or West Finchley stations on the underground (Northern Line High, Barnet branch). There is also car parking space at the church.
You are always welcome to join us for a post-rehearsal drink in the pub!
Concerts
There are normally three concerts a year, on a Saturday evening, most often at Trinity Church. This is followed by post-concert party, where we can relax, enjoy a glass or two of wine and socialise!
The dress code for concerts is all black, and men may wear open neck shirts; jackets are optional.
