If you have the skills to deliver a group singing event, or know someone who does, then please read this message from Antony Melville....
"I thought I would write to you about Singing to the sources of the rivers. We did this for the first time last year and touched a lot of people's hearts, so will be singing again on March 23rd at the sources of as many as we can of the Thames and its tributaries upstream from Goring (where it flows through the Chilterns). We have singers ready for Thames Head, for the Evenlode, the Cherwell, the Boundary Brook (in Oxford), the Ock and the Ray (near Swindon), and we would love to find singers for the Thame. I wonder if this might tickle your imagination, or if you could pass me on to someone who might be up for leading the song at the source of the Thame. The plan is to gather on site in time to sing at noon on the 23rd, make offerings to the river and perhaps some sort of ceremonial honouring, and then have a celebratory sandwich (all of which we managed in the rain last year!!).
I would be happy to come up and talk whoever is up for this through the plan and recce the site to get joining instructions right.'
