Unfortunately, this year’s Winter Warm-Up was cancelled due to the extreme weather that was with us for most of January. We apologise to all those members and friends who were looking forward to the event, but we confirm that we have made provisional arrangements for the Winter Warm-Up to take place next january, again at the Glen-Yr-Afon.

We thank the friendly staff at the Glen-Yr-Afon for being so accommodating, and for agreeing to look after us again next year.

This year's Winter Warm-Up takes place at the Glen-Yr-Afon House Hotel, Usk on Saturday 16th January. Arrive at 7pm to eat at 7.30.

The cost this year is £20.50 per head - please make cheques payable to 'CWMBRAN BAROQUE SINGERS'. Monies are being collected by Damian Lines - please bring to the next rehearsal or email me so that I may provide my postal address.

Best wishes for a Happy Christmas to you all.

Following this evening's AGM, the committee members remain unchanged, save for two positions. Jonathan Williams takes over from our outgoing Chairman, Huw Davies, who has retired from the committee after over a decade of hard work.

We wish the new committee members well.
