Sandra-

"So can the singing session the night before."

There are at least two interpretations of what your suggestion could mean. ;~)

"Can" could mean "put a stop to or cancel" but more likely you mean a singing/practice session would be welcome at the Annandale Community Centre on Friday evening. And we might also do a song party at John's house on Sunday, and really wipe everyone out. I really like the idea of jumping right in with singing starting Friday. What do you think, Brett, assuming you make the train and the train makes Sydney?

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
