Retreat January 2008

WELCOME RETREAT

Very early one sunny morning in January a convoy of cars could be seen travelling up the M23 on their way to a Crawley hotel. The travellers were geared up for another exciting retreat weekend knowing there would be lots of hard work to get through, hopefully interspersed with some fun stuff. For the third year running Coastline Harmony were delighted to welcome back Lorraine Rochefort from across the pond
for some serious coaching. This of course included choreography. Unfortunately, for one member, our President, this was a problem as she was still recovering from a broken hip and having to manage on crutches. Nevertheless she was placed comfortably on a chair on the front row while we tripped the light fantastic around her.

After eight hours rehearsal on the Saturday we were all very ready for a rest and dinner, not least our energetic and hard working Director, Becky. Some fun and games were on the menu too and Lorraine always has some interesting stories to tell from her travels.

Later some of us some of us managed to wander into the bar area before retiring and carry on singing, albeit in gentle tones to save our vocal cords for he Sunday morning session. It was so good to have Lorraine back with us again, and as an added bonus she informed us she is planning to come to Birmingham for Convention and will be catching up with us again.
