Itinerary & Information Packages - print friendly attachments are at bottom of this page
Billed as a calmer, less hectic Tour, that is not to say that 2006 was too hectic, it was fabulous ! However the 2006 itinerary was more demanding than our usual pattern. Members who have been with the Chorale on trips previous to 2006 will recognise that our usual Tour layout is again planned for 2008:
- A relatively quiet, yet scenic 1st Stop location where we can recover from jet-lag and focus on rehearsing for a few days. We will be staying at the scenic Charterhouse School near Guildford (site of Guildford Cathedral - England's youngest), which is located south-west of London (see trip map here).
- The 2nd Stop over a weekend, this is meant to be a more “touristy” location with more free time allotted (because…All work and no Play, makes Rob a dull boy !) In July 2008 we will be staying in the uber-touristy and exciting town of Cambridge! An easy train ride into London opens-up even further possibilities for your free time. We are planning our usual Sunday morning Sung Eucharist in Cambridge at the Church of "Little St. Mary's". And rumour has it that we have been offered reserved seating at King’s College Chapel Evensong during our Cambridge stay.
- Of course our entire purpose is then realized at the 3rd Stop where we will serve as Choir-In-Residence for a week at Lincoln Cathedral - a fabulous, massive Cathedral serving God since Bishop Remigius started building in 1072 !!!
