Following our trip to Bruges, we had a week off from rehearsal, but then went straight into another concert at Holy Cross RC Church, Gendros, on Sunday 13th. The concert was organised by Tony Young and was in aid of the Northern Cleft Foundation which is a charity set up to relieve sickness, and preserve the health, of poor persons by providing free cleft lip and cleft palate surgery in developing countries. We were joined by soprano, Teresa Hacche, and the evening raised £560 for the charity.

We are pleased to report that Tony Brooks has passed his audition and joined the 2nd bass section. He says that he really enjoys the choir and, although unable to read music, has bought a keyboard and is having lessons, so that he can learn items quickly. A great example to all members – new and old!!
