Schedule:
Registration is at 10am and singing will start at 10:30am, from the 1991 Denson edition of The Sacred Harp.
We’ll sing until about 4pm with regular tea breaks and a shared pot luck lunch (dinner on the grounds). Please bring a cold dish to share if you can.
There will be a collection to cover event costs.
Singers are welcome to join us at the nearby Chimney House pub (28 Upper Hamilton Road) afterwards! The pub serves good beers and traditional pub food.
