On Friday 9th we were guests, for the 2nd year,  at the Tenovus Swansea ‘Sing With Us’ choir’s annual concert at All Saints, Oystermouth. Once again the Bishopston Primary School Choir also took part and they were very well drilled and sang beautifully. The Sing With Us choir were led by the inspirational Shoshana Pavett and were over 80 in number and they sang a number of upbeat items including some ‘Take That’ songs such as ‘Shine’. It was a highly entertaining evening and we brought the audience to its feet following our rendition of ‘All You Need Is Love’. The concert was a great success and raised over £1300 for the charity.

We held our Annual Dinner Dance on Saturday 31st at the Marriott Hotel. There was a good turnout with more than 80 choristers, wives and friends attending. The evening was organised by Clive Walters who put in a great deal of effort to make it such a success. Our president, Geoff Wheel, made a speech of thanks and the presentation of the ‘skull’ was made. There were a number of ‘misdemeanours’ this year, usually around turning up in wrong uniform, but the award went to Cliff Prosser, for his rather late attendance at a wedding on New Year’s Eve. We were well into our performance when he walked down the middle of the church, seemingly totally unaware of his lateness (20 minutes!), and just took his place in the middle of the front row of the 2nd tenors!
