We gave a short concert at Swansea University on July 6th for around 80 lecturers in French, from all over Britain. They were attending a conference at the university and we were asked
to give them ‘a taste of Wales’, and we duly obliged. They all thoroughly enjoyed our programme and a number of the lecturers said that it was the highlight of the conference for them. We were, once again, well fed after the concert, with a buffet supplied by Les Carmichael, Catering Manager, at the university.
On Tuesday August 10th we made a return to the Mechanics Institute in Pontarddulais for a concert to raise money for Arthritis Research. The hall was full and it was obvious from the appreciative applause, and the vote of thanks at the end, that the evening was very successful. A note of appreciation has also been put in our ‘Guestbook’. Thanks to the ladies for providing the food and drink after the concert.
The Ladies Committee organised a family barbeque at the Commercial Inn, Killay on 22nd August to raise funds for the choir. We were very fortunate with the weather and over 80 people turned up. Many thanks to Linda, Haydn and Gareth for doing the cooking, and also to Linda for arranging a music quiz later in the evening. Thanks also to Gareth and Nova for the use of the Commercial.
The choir was pleased to have another new full member. John Rickard passed his audition and joined the first tenors. Not only does he enhance the choir, but will also improve our golf team!!
