Joining the choir
The Choir meet to rehearse at Chester Deaf Centre, from 9.30am to 11.30am every Saturday.
New members are accepted in February each year, but anyone interested can contact booking@deesignchoir.co.uk any time during the year, to let us know they are interested and would like to be contacted – we operate a waiting list. An email will be sent to them in January to let them know the February date for joining.
All adult volunteers are required to hold a minimum of Level 1 British Sign Language qualification.
Children from the age of 8 years and upwards wishing to join are welcome but must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
We perform around 30-40 bookings a year.
All choir members once joining become volunteers for ‘Chester & District Committee for Deaf People’. Attendances at practices and bookings are monitored and we ask members to try to achieve at least 50% throughout the year which runs from February to mid-December. We do not meet in January or August.
