Get making a Birdbox<br />
ARE YOU READY to join us on our<br />
European Tour<br />
featuring songs from The Hunchback of Notre Dame and<br />
‘hits from around the continent’?<br />
Then come along to our first session of <strong>2024</strong> on<br />
Wednesday 28th February at The Groby Club, Leicester<br />
Road, Groby LE6 0DJ, which has ramps and disabled<br />
facilities as well as a bar and hot drinks.<br />
Adult singers: 1.30-3.00pm or 7.30-9.00pm, Youth & Children’s<br />
Choir (7 years and over): 3.40-4.40pm.<br />
Pre-school children are welcome in the afternoon in the care of<br />
their adult with a crèche area available.<br />
A warm welcome to everyone who enjoys singing and<br />
socialising. We are a dementia-friendly choir and would like to<br />
encourage singers experiencing dementia or memory problems<br />
to come along together with their friends and carers. Our choir is<br />
lucky to have a lovely Youth and Children’s choir and we’d love to<br />
attract more young people so do spread the word that we have a<br />
special after-school session for children aged 7 and over.<br />
We’re looking forward to seeing you on 28th February!<br />

Measure and cut your wood according to the diagram<br />
above.<br />
Note: the dimensions shown are for 15mm thick wood. If<br />
your wood is different to that, the dimensions of the Base<br />
should be 150mm by 150mm minus 2 x thickness of the<br />
wood, eg if the wood is 18mm thick, the base should be<br />
150mm x 114mm.<br />
If you don’t have the hole saw/cutter for making the<br />
3.2cm round hole, you can use a jigsaw (not the puzzle)<br />
to cut a square or wedge-shaped hole at the top of the<br />
front, as in the diagram.<br />
Nail all the pieces, except the roof, together. The sides,<br />
back and front ‘wrap around’ the base.<br />
Attach the roof. By using screws, you’ll be able to get into<br />
the box at a later stage to clean it out. Use a waterproof<br />
strip to make a hinge between the top edge of the roof<br />
and the backing board. Try a piece of bicycle tyre inner<br />
tube, damp-proof membrane or roofing felt.<br />
I do 300 pull-ups a day. I really need to buy a belt for my trousers.
