Local Singings - Minutes

The Minutes of many of our local UK singings have been collected together here, although over time unfortunately one or two have been lost.

As new singings take place, it would be helpful if Minutes, as ready as possible for publication, could be sent to the email address below for inclusion on this website, even though they may not have been submitted to the Sacred Harp Minutes Book.
