Times and Venue
We meet weekly on Wednesdays. Rehearsals start at 7:45 pm and finish around 9:30 pm. We have a short coffee break so that members can catch up and chat, and so important notices can be made. We usually break for the summer during July and August.
Our rehearsal venue is at the Our Lady of Lourdes RC Church, Hampton Court Way, Thames Ditton, KT7 0LP.
The nearest train station is Thames Ditton, a half mile walk from the church.
