Carol Singing around Queens Park – December 2014

As usual (for the 39^th consecutive year!), we will be singing in the streets around Queens Park to raise money for local charities. Details:

§ East side: Thursday 18^th December 2014 – meet at 7.30pm at the park end of Summerfield Avenue.

§ West side: Tuesday 23^rd December 2013, meet at 7.30 pm outside 7 Kempe Road

• Please bring a copy of Carols for Choirs Book 1 (green) O.U.P. (can be bought from Amazon here). [We tend to sing most of the carols in this book, with the exception of numbers 3,7,8,9, 22, 24, 32, 34, 35, 36, 37, 46, 47, 48, and 50.]
  
  
• Please also print off copies of Silent Night, and of Christmas Night by Chris Hearne
  
  

A warm welcome is extended to everyone, for either or both events – either to sing or to help with the door-to-door collection. When we finish (around 9.30 pm, depending on the weather) we will repair to someone's home for seasonal refreshments - which usually include punch and mince pies.

In 2013 we raised £700 (with a small contribution from choir funds), split equally between St Mungo’s (see thank you letter) and Ashford Place (previously Cricklewood Homeless Concern – see thank you letter).

In 2012 we again raised £900 (with a small contribution from choir funds) for Cricklewood Homeless Shelter – see their thank you letter. They wrote again in June 2013, with a copy of their annual report.

In 2011, we raised (with a small contribution from choir funds) £900 for Cricklewood Homeless Shelter – see their thank you letter. This followed the £830 we raised for them in 2010 (thank you letter)

In 2009 we raised £584, for Salusbury World – see their thank you letter

In 2008 we raised £670, which was split equally between two local charities:

· The Brent Branch of the Samaritans

· The Special Yoga Centre
