Choir practice is taken by the choir leader, often with an organist present, and is on Fridays at 7pm and lasts around 1-1.5 hours. (There is no choir practice on the Friday before the first Sunday of each month.) 

On festivals, and sometimes when singing an anthem, we are augmented by a further 6-8 singers enabling us to sing in 4 parts and choose more challenging works. The choir, when required and/or asked, will also sing at weddings and funerals and at Christmastime accompany the community worship team to sing in several local nursing and residential homes. The choir also enjoy a social get together about twice a year.
