Sung worship has been at the heart of this cathedral church for nearly half a millennium, and the contribution your choir can bring to that long tradition is important. We are grateful to you for the hard work, time, and effort put into your visit, and we look forward to welcoming you here. At the cathedral, it is the choir’s role to lead the worship both in the sung liturgy and the spoken word. When your choir is singing at the cathedral you effectively become ‘our choir’. We will rely on you to represent us and to help lead us in worship. You will realise that we will expect a high level of discipline and conduct within the services, and as you move around the cathedral. This booklet aims to provide all the salient information needed for your visit. It is for those coming to sing one service, or a whole week of services, for adult choirs, or for choirs with a range of ages, so do refer to those sections which apply to you. Please do read it thoroughly, as everything in this booklet exists to make your visit as pleasant and fulfilling as possible.

A Local Nature Reserve designation would ensure that Grove Wood was managed for wildlife, public enjoyment and educational use - just what the Snuff Mills Action Group have been calling for since 2008. You can help make this happen by: 1) Emailing [email protected] no later than noon on Wednesday June 9th [sorry about the short notice] stating why you think the Council should declare an LNR and buy Grove Wood Title your email: Grove Wood - Cabinet Discussions or something similar 2) Asking to speak at the Cabinet Meeting on June 10th - you need to request this in the email you send the Council 3) Joining Snuff Mills Action Group outside the Council House on College Green on Thursday June 10th at 3.30pm to show how much you want this to happen - make and bring banners! Check the Snuff Mills Action Group blog for more information at http://snuffmills.blogspot.com The report to cabinet can be seen by following the links for the 10th June Cabinet meeting at www.bristol.gov.uk/meetings There was also an article in today's Evening Post, see http://tinyurl.com/24cvo6l ------------------------- Area Green Space Plan Consultation As I mentioned in my last update, the AGSP consultation is starting on Monday (14th June).
