Covid-19 Requirements for ASGAS Choir rehearsals
All Singers Great And Small (ASGAS) Choir is a community-based choir that sings for fun and for well-being.
To keep everyone safe and to reduce the risk of possible infection from Covid-19 we are therefore asking all choir members to follow our guidelines when attending Choir rehearsals.
We ask you all to:
Wear a mask coming in to Choir and when moving about indoors (unless you are medically exempt).
Keep socially distanced as far as is possible.
Use the available hand sanitiser when you first enter the building.
There will be hand sanitiser available in the foyer when you arrive at Choir but we recommend that you also carry your own supply with you and use it as appropriate.
Bring exact change to pay your weekly Choir subs.
There will be a container for you to put your money into when you arrive at Choir rehearsals
Bring a bottle of water with you. Initially we will not be offering refreshments at the end of the singing session so please bring a bottle of water with you to keep hydrated.
Chairs will be socially distanced which limits the numbers that can be set up in the Chapel area.
As we will be singing most songs in unison it is not so important to sit in our usual places as sopranos, altos and tenors/bass.
Please just occupy a vacant chair.
If you prefer to wear a mask whilst singing please sit on the seats at the back.
If you prefer to remove your mask whilst singing please occupy the seats at or towards the front.
Don’t forget to bring your music with you to rehearsals as spare copies will not be available to borrow.
Words for the songs we will be rehearsing will be sent out by email upon request by Wendy, our Communications Officer.
Follow the guidelines set by the Chapel when using the lavatory.
Use the wipe that is provided to wipe handles and the toilet seat after use.
Place the wipe inside one of the disposable sacs that are provided for use before placing this in the waste bin
Wash your hands thoroughly.
If you are feeling unwell, are exhibiting the symptoms of Covid-19 or you have been contacted to self-isolate we ask that you do not attend Choir rehearsals until you are feeling better or the period of self-isolation is over.
The full list of concerts will be posted on the diary page as soon as they are available. The choir began in March 2009. The local newspaper ran a news item at the time and 22 people turned up on the first night, with many expressing that they had been looking for this for years! We now have more than double that number meeting every week. Our ages range from 12 - 90+ (hence the name) and we try and sing a mixture of material to appeal to the variety of characters who sing with us. We've tackled Musicals, folk music, Rutter classics, Sinatra, Reggae and lots in between. Some harmony, some unison.
Above all we meet to have fun. No pressure, no auditions - everyone welcome. We make a voluntary contribution every time we attend which goes towards the cost of music and our lovely warm venue. The atmosphere is lighthearted with lots of banter and laughter. Some great friendships have sprung up along the way and members are very willing to offer up a brief prayer of thanks for our community life and particularly to support any concerns that others might express. We major on 'Singing for happiness and wellbeing'. so why not join us on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm at Leigh Baptist Church. We sing till 9-00pm and then everyone is welcome to stay on for a cuppa and a chat. All singers great and small welcomed.
