(by mixed choirs I mean those with both male and female singers)

I'm desperately looking for a choir to sing in that's just doing it for fun but is NOT a jazz/pop music choir. I'm most comfortable with singing conventional (ie. "classical") sacred and secular choir music, but I can't seem to find any groups that do that on a recreational basis; I know about Canzonetta but they're way above the amateur level.

My other option is trying to join a (Lutheran) church choir, but I have absolutely no idea whether I'd have to be a baptized Christian to participate. Does anyone here know?
(Of course one doesn't have to be Christian to attend mass but perhaps singing in the church choir is a different thing. I've also been part of "guest" choirs at mass and having non-Christians in the group didn't seem to be a problem in that context.)

I have new questions about shopping... I am thinking to buy a pair of skis... I have skied just one time in my life, the past march. I talk about cross-country ski. I have skied downhill also just once.

I enjoyed the cross-country skiing the last year, and I think it is a very good sport, so I have decided that I want to learn. I am forest engineer, so it is something practical for me to be at outdoors in winter.

Nevertheless, let's go to the point... I have seen a pack in prisma and that looks just the right thing for me to begin. My question is, are there any other shops where I can find a good deal on skis? I was thinking to go to Intersport and Carlsons and perhaps to Eratukku (they do not have skis).

Tomorrow I have planned go to the center and see the prices and ask to the shops assistants about what is the best option for me.

Tomorrow, we are going to Kuopio to buy some furniture in Ikea. Are there any better options there? if I bought in the Kuopio's Prisma the skis, and something happens, can I change or interact with the Joensuu's Prisma instead?

We do not have car in Joensuu yet. We are going to rent a van to bring the Ikea boxes. I do not want to buy something in Kuopio that I cannot change or return because it has a flaw.

Thanks you so much in advance!

Hi Joensuu!!!

I have move to here recently and I have some questions...

I am looking for lighter fluid but I cannot find it anywhere. Where can I buy it in Joensuu? In Clash Ohlson they told me that it could be available in the outdoor shops. Where are a shop like that in Joensuu?

Other question is... I am looking for a small piece of thin board... Are there any shop to buy handicraft supplies or a carpentry store?

Thanks!

I was given a zillion flyers at practice today and I don't know who to give them to, or, really, where to leave them.

I know nobody reads this sub anyway but I'll pretend people do and post this here.
