Matters arising from committee members notes and memory.
Linda Deverall re. Christmas Carols Linda would like all Island Choirs to perform in the Catholic Church, But after some discussion the committee thought that the school hall would be a better venue because of room. We have several choirs on the Island, Sing Waiheke,Sister Shout, Choral Society and the Primary school childrens choir, plus the orchestra. It was decided to discuss it further with Linda Deverall.
