How it works
Our ethos is that we all share ownership of the choir, and ideas for events and fundraising from all members of the choir are welcome, to ensure that the choir develops in a direction we are all committed to. To aid the running and organisation of the choir, we have a group of volunteers, all choir members, who have been elected by the membership as the committee:
| Chair: | Becky Howes (musical director) |
| Secretary: | Catherine Chivers |
| Treasurer: | Helen Squire |
| Events Co-ordinators: | Cath Agius and Rick Whitaker |
| Social Secretary: | Catherine Simkins |
| Librarian: | Angela Lucking, assisted by Vicky Cox |
| Accompanist: | Rick Whitaker |
We aim to make being in the choir as affordable as possible. Membership subscriptions help us to cover the cost of a weekly payment for our musical director and accompanist, hall hire, promotional materials and any necessary equipment. We also do some fundraising activities - these have included singing in Tescos on a Saturday morning, running raffles and a 'silent auction', and inviting donations from guests at our performances. Any surplus funds are donated to a local charity, chosen collectively by the choir.
