    EDITORIAL Another year has come and gone, and we trust that 1989 will be a happy and prosperous one for all our members. If our Society is to continue to flourish, however, it is essential that more members should play an active part in running its affairs. Ken Brown, our Secretary since 1983 (and acting Programme Organiser for the last year), is resigning at the Annual General Meeting in May, and Irene Blackburn, who is responsible for the Members' Interests and Second Time Around sections of the Journal, will be giving up her position as Research Editor later in the year. We are very grateful to them both for all the work they have done on our behalf. In addition to these two posts, we are still short of a Programme Organiser. If you know of anyone who might be willing to take on any of these jobs please let Ken Brown know as soon as possible - otherwise the Society may come to a grinding halt. One of the most important events of 1988 as far as the Society was concerned was the publication of the long-awaited Directory of Members' Interests. Its production entailed a great deal of hard work on the part of those responsible, and it also placed a severe strain on the Society's finances. In view of the fact that it was initially offered free to members (only the cost of postage and packing being charged), the demand for copies was disappointingly small. Copies are still available, and although now priced £2.75 each (post free to addresses in the U.K.), they are very good value.

  • Songs of the Sea in Northumberland
    Songs of the Sea in Northumberland Destinations: Northumberland & England Trip code: ALMNS HOLIDAY OVERVIEW Sea shanties were working songs which helped sailors move in unison on manual tasks like hauling the anchor or hoisting sails; they also served to raise spirits. Songs were usually led by a shantyman who sang the verses with the sailors joining in for the chorus. Taking inspiration from these traditional songs, as well as those with a modern nautical connection, this break allows you to lend your voice to create beautiful harmonies singing as part of a group. Join us to sing with a tidal rhythm and flow and experience the joy of singing in unison. With a beachside location in sight of the sea, we might even take our singing outside to see what the mermaids think!
