Extra service

The employment contract for the cathedral is very clear... there are a set number of services to sing each week, plus a list of named additional services during the year - at times such as Christmas, Holy Week, Ascension, and so on.  But I don't remember there being any mention of today - particularly as today's no more special than being the first Friday after Pentecost.

Any yet, there's the extra sung service today of Compline, which should last all of... erm... about 20 minutes.  And according to the afore mentioned employment contract, this should be classed as an 'extra engagement', which should in turn demand an additional fee.  Hmmm...
