It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Tom Bartley following a long illness. Tom was a very popular chorister and a great ambassador for the choir. He filled many roles in his 9 years with the choir, acting as a very active publicity officer and member of the committee. Tom always made new members very welcome, quite often being the first to make himself known to them. Most of all he was an excellent 2nd tenor and rarely missed a choir event.  A native of Liverpool, he was a very keen football fan and it was fitting that we were able to sing ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ at his funeral. Tom will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
