I have been asked to post this here and hope it is of interest.
The consultation period has been extended and more information can be found online:

Lifeline for Llandaff Cathedral Choir!
Breaking news
The Chapter of Llandaff Cathedral have just agreed to extend the consultation period on making the professional members of the Cathedral Choir redundant.
This is great news for the Choir, great news for the Cathedral and great news for Wales; we are really pleased with this outcome and we hope you are too.
This could not have been achieved without your support.
Thank you
With pledges of over £2,500 generated in just a few days, the Choir's own fundraising plans (which the Chapter accepts could raise £36k over the next 12 months) and support from Friends of Cathedral Music and the Ouseley Trust it became clear that there were viable alternatives to making the professional members of the Cathedral Choir redundant.
This has enabled us to demonstrate that the necessary funds to save the choir can be found.
Thank you especially to all those who were able to pledge support by email to llandaff@ism.org; this indication of support was critical and we will let you know as soon as possible if/when a full scale fundraising campaign begins.
Keep spreading the word
Here at the ISM, we will continue to encourage and support the Cathedral Chapter in finding a way forward that avoids redundancies and we still need your help to do this.
Have you told your friends about the campaign? Have you encouraged your friends, family and colleagues to support the campaign? Have you spread the word through your own network of contacts?
You can also read regular updates about the campaign online and listen to our comments on BBC Wales (from 20 minutes).
Best wishes
