Membership of the choir is open to adult members of the public and is non
auditioned.
The choir is funded by annual membership fees and concessionary fees
are available on application. The membership has remained strong at an
average of 124 singers throughout the year. This has included new
members and some that have left due to ill health, job moves and other
changes.
The chair normally meets for 42 weeks of the year to learn a wide range of
choral music, fo learn singing techniques, to perform in public and to raise
money for charities, mostly local whenever possible
Summary tvitlag |He trustees have considered the guidance regarding the public benefits in
of the main activities relation fo the objects and have incorporated them in planning of the
undertaken for the public activities of the choir
benefit in relation to these .
oblatettnn this Since tst June 2024 it has been a wonderful and busy year for the choir
declaration that trustees have singing at or staging six public concerts including two abroad at the
had regard to the guidance Festival Musicale in Redon. At our staged concerts we have raised monies
issued by the Charity for two charities, Encircles at our Caral concert and the MS Society at our
¢emmission on public benefit) Spring concert. The choir has also increased its support to other charitable
of organisations by offering its services to entertain free of charge. These
include singing at the Alzheimer’s day centre twice in December,
entertaining a local over 60" club for their Christrnas lunch, and twice at the
local NHS Hospital Spinal unit's Horatio’s Gardens (a charity that creates
sensory gardens at spinal units nationwide) Furthermore, to educate both
the choir members and the public, our musical director has explicitly
increased the explanations of musical notation and increased the history
and context of the music in our programme notes for the public. In
September 2024, a half day workshop was held for members. Our Musical
Director was keen to give young musicians a platform to perform, which is
important for their career development, and we were joined at several
concerts by student singers he invited which was enriching for them, the
choir and the audience.
