I have been alerted to a concern about the use of rubbers [aka erasers] at the TVCC rehearsals on a Monday evening. As many of you will be aware Charlotte, one of our members, has an allergic reaction to anything rubber and in particular to the dust from the use of rubbers to erase pencil marks on our rehearsal music. This is of real concern to us as we know that should Charlotte be affected, she will go into anaphylactic shock resulting in the need for a 999 call and then hospitalisation.

Please pass this information on to your friends in the choir as they may not be part of our choir Facebook group or may not have heard me speak of it at choir on a Monday.

Thanks for reading to the end.

 

Ann, Choir Manager
