Please arrive between 0930 and 0945 in order to register and find a seat before the prompt start at 10am. Please bring along e-tickets on your mobile or as hard copy.
Teas and coffees will be served mid-morning and there will be a lunch break of 45 mins when you are welcome to stay in the hall and eat your picnic or pop into town for snacks from the nearby shops. NB It would be a great help if you could bring your own mugs for the hot drinks and of course bring a bottle of water to wet your whistles during the sessions.
We look forward to seeing you.
Wirksworth Parking - there is a little on street parking in the town centre, but this is usually for residents and short stays, however there may be some found further out of the centre. This town guide should help you find the central car parks and transport links you require. Please be aware that the Co-Op now has time limited parking.

JANUARY 2024 - We were fortunate to have our delightful visiting leader Lynn Dean come along for us in January while Lester took his hard earned vacation down under. We are indebted to her for her patience with us trying to sound like a choir again after the long break, and her invaluable advice to forget about singing from the diaphragm but to aim lower! So, we shall ever be mindful to clench our buttocks to improve our singing in future!!!
