On April 11th, instead of choir practice, there was a choir party at the choirmaster's house. Attendance was very good. Choir members, their siblings & parents and the clergy joined for an evening of food, games and wild forrays into the garden. Not one note was sung, but voices certainly were not spared.

On 8th December - after singing a wedding service - All Saints' Church Choir took to the streets of Leamington Spa to do some carol singing. In Livery Street, we braved the elements to sing in the open air, but after a while we were forced to take cover under a choir-size umbrella, kindly offered by the 'Cafe Saint Jacques'. Once gathered there, we discovered that large umbrellas are excellent for singing under. We finished our singing at the front of our own church, to inaugurate the new forecourt, which had just been finished.

On 11th November, Remembrance Sunday, our choir sang at the War Memorial in the town centre. Being the choir of the local Parish Church, we do this every year.
There were a lot of photographers around and this picture made it to our local newspaper.
