THE FINTRY FINISH


Enjoy Music at Fintry

Our final meeting for the year was a grand affair _ scenic trip through Campsie Glen on a bright, sunny morning to arrive in Fintry and join up with the others (18 in all) in the welcoming atmosphere of our member's home.
Because of a road closure in Strathblane and diversions, there was much talk about the various routes we'd taken so that after getting into good voice, the MAP READING SONG, in 4 part harmony, was completely apt. 

1. Do you know where we are, how to get where we're going?
2. Give me the map!  You're holding it upside down.
3. Don't worry I've been here before Don't worry I can show you the way.
4. Take a left at the roundabout carry on through the market square
Second left at the railway bridge, past the church and you're there!

It was impressive how quickly we learned the parts and in particular how we kept together _ a fun song which I'm sure we'll pick up easily when we return to it.

The other new song, also in 4 part harmony, that we tackled this morning, was by way of a thank you for the chance to sing in these lovely surroundings. 

THIS ROOM: May we fill this room with joy and harmony.

By now we'd worked up healthy appetites and the food we'd brought to share was beckoning. We feasted in conviviality, enjoying the opportunity for talk together in contrast to our normal morning where the coffee break is never long enough to allow for any lengthy conversation.

We parted mid-afternoon, having noted several dates:

1. Sunday 20th May:  2:00 - 4:30 Corinna Hewitt's singing workshop in Fintry.
2. Sunday 20th May:  7:30 The Clydesiders in the Sports Centre in Fintry
3. 2nd week in July, a get together, details still to be arranged.

4. ENJOY MUSIC! starts again on Tuesday 11th September 2012.
