Surely not...someone more organised than Anne!

Now, for those who know the Rudsambee setup it will not have escaped your notice that the group would not function without two people. The first of these is of course our valiant conductor Ollie who chooses music, sets the rhythm (sometimes!) and teaches us the words with show-and-tell cards (this btw is how we learnt 'Dindirin' There were even pictures!). The second leader figure is our resident organiser Anne who basically ensures that life functions effectively. My guess is that if ever she were to take umbrage and leave, the whole place would fall apart... if not the world at large.

However, recent publications would suggest that (shock horror) there is someone more organised than Anne. We are, as hopefully you are all well aware, going global in a couple of weeks and heading off to the Czech Republic. Anne has ably sorted out the whole shebang. Yet she sent me a jolly interesting attachment this week called the 'Susice Brochure' which was created by the 'Anne-equivalent' at Shrewsbury Cantata Choir, a group who are going to be performing with the Svatobor Sušice Choir imminently. The brochure (which even has colour pictures!) has detailed descriptions of the whole visit down to the amount of liquid you can take on the plane. Apparently, and I quote, "freight or cargo items cannot be accepted as passenger baggage." Act on this information folks! We didn't think it could be done but there is someone in the musical sphere more organised than Anne.

Shrewsbury Cantata Choir, we salute you!
