Where and when we meetWe meet at the Guardian Centre on Clarendon Road, home of MertonVision.
Rehearsals take place on Monday evenings. The centre is open from 19:30 for tea and coffee, and we start promptly at 19:45, finishing at 21:30. Members who join MertonVision for a small annual fee are then able to buy drinks from the licensed bar, and we close at 22:30. At least half the choir stays behind to socialise. We have three terms a year, in line with Merton's academic term dates (see below). We do not have official rehearsals on bank holidays, but sometimes hold social events instead. Our current fees are £34 per term standard rate, £16 per term for the unwaged, and £4 per rehearsal for guests. Fees are due at the first rehearsal of term; there is a £5 per week fee for late payment without prior agreement from the Chairman. Newcomers are welcome to try us out free for one week, and can then join when there is a space. Term dates 2011-2012 Autumn (15 rehearsals):
