25.01.2022 A message from the committee: Dear all, We hope you are well and staying in good health. The QKC committee have just had their first online Zoom meeting to discuss the year, plan for the upcoming AGM and pull some ideas together for the future. We will be sending you an email shortly to invite you to the online AGM (with mystery guest artist and QKC-themed trivia) with all the information you need, so please keep an eye out for this.... In the mean time, we wanted to check in with you and see how you are going? Are you and your family well? Have you had any interesting musical experiences lately? Is there any exciting news you want to share with the choir? Please let us know how you are faring during these very interesting times. We have so missed singing with you and seeing everyone regularly at rehearsals! We hope you can join us online at the AGM so that we can share a drink and a song! All the best QKC committee
