Directions & Parking
Directions: The music school at King's Bruton is behind New House which is the big boarding house on the opposite side of the road to the Memorial Hall gateway (with no gate!). As you face the house, go around the left hand side, down the slope and walk straight ahead past the classrooms. Turn right at the end and across a small parking area and keep walking. You can now see the new building. Once inside, the concert hall is on the right.

Parking: Please park in the lay-by in the road, over by the Memorial Hall, or in the car park beyond the Sports Hall, and cross the road on foot.

Illness & Absence
We use e-mail to circulate weekly information to members via BCS@rsvpmanager.co.uk - please respond to this to help Barbara plan rehearsal time.
Please let Barbara know if you are unable to attend for an extended period. Ideally, we would like members performing in a concert to attend the final three Wednesday rehearsals prior to each concert. You should also let us know if you are unable to perform in a concert.
We care about everyone’s health and wellbeing and so we ask that you take care if you have any bugs or viruses. If you feel well enough to attend but are concerned about passing on any germs, you are welcome to attend rehearsals by sitting in the balcony.
