From Your Team Co-ordinator

WOW a big night with lots of singing- great; well done us all and thanks Gill for such a big work out.

Being Bari-no-mates meant I had to work really hard to find my tunes...I had that saying 'your note is not

an area' in my head all night and apparently this showed on a frowning performance face- thanks for

the tips everyone; something I now know I need to be aware of. So its California, San Fran and Hine for

Ballentynes- lets blow them away-there maybe some potential new chorus members in the audience!

Two weeks till Lynne Smith comes to show us some groovy moves; time to tune up, get fit and practice

my flapping - off skiing this weekend maybe 'en piste' penguin flapping is appropriate? We have

another week to work on the flight package too... I wonder if my iPod will fit under my ski helmet or is

that courting danger? See you all at Ballentynes.
