Robes
If you have robes, please bring them. If not, sparesd will be provided BUT many of them are gowns so could all ladies bring an all-black outfit? It might be neatest if we’re short on robes for all ladies to wear gowns over black dress and men to wear robes. If you have an academic hood, bring that too!
Music
Finalised music choices are here on the website and all music will be provided. I can’t send it out, but one item, Bednall’s Easter Alleluia, is online in pdf format (and an mp3 recording) and I would recommend a quick glance at that before the weekend.
Little bit of money
Can we ask full-weekend attendees to contribute to the cost of running the weekend – venue hire for Friday night, music purchase/hire, refreshments and so on. This shouldn’t come to much more than £10-15 per person (Ian to advise) and can be paid over the weekend.
Think that’s all – look forward to seeing you in Bristol next weekend, hooray!
