Due to the current pandemic, The Rivertones, along with most other choruses and choirs throughout the country, have had to suspend rehearsals in line with Government health guidelines. A number of bookings for 2020 were also regrettably cancelled \u2013 but mostly re-booked for 2021, including a wedding!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are currently finalising a full Covid 19 Risk Assessment, a Guidance Document for our members and a comprehensive Rehearsals Procedures Document which will allow us to do a trial rehearsal at our regular rehearsal venue \u2013 which is also a Covid safe environment \u2013 using the rule of six guidelines which were in place before the latest lockdown and our subsequent surprise move to Tier 2 (even though we are in a relatively ‘safe’ part of the county).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hopefully we will be reinstated back to a tier where the rule of six applies. If not we will adjust if and when necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sanitising materials, temperature checking and masks will all be part of our journey back to singing.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This might mean we can look at the early part of 2021 as a ray of light to get us back to doing what we all miss most of all during these strange times \u2013 singing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And, looking to the future \u2013 with promise of a vaccine on the horizon \u2013 a resumption too of our 8-week Learn to Sing course which we had to end abruptly in March, after just five weeks. We look forward to welcoming our new men back amongst us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
