Our engagement on 1st October was to sing at the wedding of Jonathan Clewett, the son of our hard working secretary Alan, and Aleisha, who hails from Scotland. 

The wedding took place at Norton House, Mumbles and, there was a large contingent from Scotland present. We, somehow, managed to squeeze 52 singers and 2 keyboards into the small area left for us and, as a surprise to his new wife, Jonathon had requested that we sing the Proclaimers’ song I’m Gonna Walk (500 miles)’. 
It was left to Steve Wilson to do an arrangement to which, he added a multi-track accompaniment on his keyboard, and this proved a tremendous success, with everyone joining in the chorus with great energy! 

We held our 50th anniversary dinner on 22nd at Morgan’s Hotel. The dinner was arranged by Rob Smith and our hard working chairman, Clive. The evening was a great success with 120 choristers and friends attending. A new special award was given for the person who had worked tirelessly throughout the year to ensure the success of the choir.  It was won by Adrian Crowley who does a tremendous amount of work on the committee and is always prepared to help out by taking on additional workloads. He also ensures that our wheelchair user, George, is brought to choir practices and concerts. Many thanks, Adrian, and well deserved.
