We need to Hear from You About the Graylingwell Theatre
>
>
>
> It’s a little-known fact that the Theatre at Graylingwell Hospital, in
> Chichester, is likely to be demolished to make way for housing on the
> site.
>
>
>
> We’d like your views on this as they’ll help shape the decision to either
> object to this, or let it go ahead.
>
>
>
> The Theatre is rectangular in shape with a sprung wooden floor, a small
> balcony, and a wooden stage with flying facilities, substantial projection
> screen (there are projectors which could be renovated), and a small
> orchestra pit. We estimate that it’s seated capacity could be around
> 450 -
> and more if the seating was retractable. Even as an empty shell it oozes
> atmosphere and requires little imagination to envisage how it could be
> creatively used.
>
>
>
> There is no other Theatre or space of this size and flexibility between
> Worthing and Fareham, or north to Farnham. It could be a home to all
> manner
> of activities – here’s just an idea:
>
>
>
> Mid-scale folk, jazz, blues, world music; mid-scale touring opera,
> theatre,
> and dance; film, poetry, classical music from soloists to ensembles (the
> acoustics are excellent; trade shows, exhibitions, lectures, talks,
> dinners,
> banquets, receptions. It could act as a flexible space for circus, for
> more
> experimental theatre companies, promenade performances, and as a home to
> amateur dramatic and operatic productions, for Chichester Festivities, and
> for community events and activities.
>
>
> The developers are keen to demolish it and build a new multi-purpose
> building to the north of the site which will possibly accommodate up to
> 300
> people but no-one has seen detailed plans.
>
>
> There is a groundswell of opinion that every effort should be made to be a
> full part of the consultation process as to the feasibility of retaining
> the
> theatre - it is far too important an existing arts facility not to be
> discussed by all interested parties and in great detail. So we need to
> hear
> from you.
>
>
> Could you, your organisation, or an amalgam of individuals or
> organisations,
> make use of the theatre and if so what frequency of use might be feasible
> ?
>
>
>
> As Chichester seeks to rebrand itself as ‘Chichester – City of Arts or
> Culture’ your
> opinion could really count.
>
> Please e-mail your response, and or ideas asap.
>
>
> STOP PRESS !!!!
>
> The developers have agreed that interested parties can view the Theatre
> next
> Tuesday 29 July at 1pm. It is vital that we have a good turnout for this

> anyone else who you think may be interested. It would be very helpful if

> The Theatre is on the south side of the Graylingwell site and there is

Jeremy Smith in Your old house at 2005-09-19 16:23:28
Excellent website, Chris! Nice to hear a bit of Howells on the site - good choice. I just typed in 'Lay Vicar' in to 'Google', and three of the top 30 websites were about you. Are you taking over?
Di Denyer in In Midhurst at 2005-05-08 20:40:15
I am a friend of Judes and was amazed to here this beautiful sound! I will be along to the next concert. Could you put one of your spirituals on the web, these are my favourites. The choir is fabulous!
Victoria Larley in Chichester at 2005-02-07 22:55:48

In your repertoire i didn't see bizantin music?I know it is not easy to sing , but you have a good choir.
Jamie Hall in at work at 2004-06-12 15:24:15
I found Crabley's website link on the choir site today and was mortified when, having selected the ropey-quality version of 'Crabley's Car'to view on my particularly naff P.C, It wouldn't play!!!! I'm feeling pretty empty right now!!! :-)When will it be available on DVD and VHS? P.S impressed by YMCA Crabley! Oh and the choir is good too........
Neil. B in Worthing at 2004-05-18 12:41:32
Hello! I cant seem to be able to contact you through e-mail, if you could get me a more direct e-mail address or a telephone no that would be great! Cheers. Neil

Excellent concert at St Paul's on Saturday night. A worthy outing for the first winner of the Thornesian Prize - well done!!
Laura Sands (Neil's sister!) in at 2003-11-18 10:46:43
So glad to see that Crabley gets a mention, even on this wonderful site. Never heard you sing, but hope to having hear an extract. Keep up the good work!!!!!
Victoria Larley in Chichester at 2003-08-30 23:34:47
Apologies for the lack of updates to the Quire website.The response to the Thornesian Prize has been excellent, with an impressive number of entries.Keep watching for news of the winner, and also our programme for the Michaelmas Term 2003.
Caroline Richardson in at 2003-03-27 13:38:07
What a fabulous evensong tyesterday in Chichester Cathedral. Glorious music, glorious singing.A memorable experience on my day trip to Chichester.
Victoria Larley in Chichester at 2003-02-01 12:34:07
The link to the Thornesian Prize entry form only opens if you have Acrobat reader or the program itself. I believe you can download this free on the internet if you look for it. Otherwise, I will email the form to interested parties.
Victoria Larley in the usual place at 2003-01-14 12:16:33
We have had many enquiries about the Thornesian Prize, which is encouraging. Details will be sent out shortly, and information circulated to various publications. Watch the website for details.
Victoria Larley Webmistress in at 2002-11-26 22:05:57
You have now had the honour of playing for us, thankyou very much. We gave a very successful concert on 23rd November, with a full house, and managed to raise money for the church, as well as premiere some new works. See 'Concerts' for details of our next performances, including evensong in Chichester Cathedral, and Arundel, as part of the St. Nicholas' Concert Series.

Patrick & Gill in North Wales at 2002-10-12 21:16:48
Very impressive site, very impressive quire.Very impressive webmistress too.
Victoria Larley Webmistress, Chantry Quire in at 2002-09-25 23:11:14
We are not paying our pupils any money, by the way.
Jack in my room at 2002-09-25 18:52:24
mr larly is my teacher and he is the best! cool!
Victoria Larley Webmistress (!), Chantry Quire in at 2002-09-23 18:15:26
We don't have a CD unfortunately, as choir funds do not run to it. We'd love to make a recording, so if anyone can offer resources...
Janet in Bognor Regis at 2002-09-23 12:37:54
I came to your concert in July, and enjoyed it a lot, especially the welsh folk songs. Do you have a CD I can buy?
Fiona and Anthony Cartmell in Worthing, West Sussex at 2002-09-22 23:13:45
We agree with Neil, you sound wonderful! We might just know someone in Chichester who might do a composition for you...
Neil in Chich at 2002-09-20 23:47:42
Nice Bruckner extract, you are obviously a highly trained crack group of artistes. Good luck with the composition competition.
