We had a quiet start to the year, but a good number of the choir enjoyed a get together at the Queens on Thursday 3rd. This has become an annual event and we were well looked after by the staff at the pub. We started at 3.00 o’clock in the afternoon and carried on during the early evening adjourning to the Three Lamps, where we had been booked to sing at some forthcoming Wales Rugby International matches over the coming months. 

Rehearsals commenced on Tuesday 8th and we were pleased to see that we had attracted a potential new member following our afternoon in the Queens. We also started rehearsing some new items for our forthcoming trip to Barbados and, in fact, is was good to have a quiet period so that we could concentrate on this huge undertaking.

On a sad note, Roger Burrell passed away following a long illness. Roger had been present at rehearsals up to his death and will be sadly missed by his family and the choir.
