With the second lockdown out of the way and being back in level 1 COVID-19 restrictions, we returned to our comfy venue tonight to sing together on the risers again. It was great to brush up on our voices and techniques and to go over a new song we are learning. We were pleased to have several new faces join us today as well, whom we welcomed with open arms.

We had two superb evenings with David McEachern this week. Thank you, David, for helping us to experience and to be all of the things!
GAC were on our annual retreat over the weekend, this year in Hunua. Needless to say, there was plenty of singing... but we also enjoyed some relaxing meditation, a fantastic barbecue dinner, lots of laughs and, ofcourse, more singing.
