| Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year |
We performed at4Concert engagements during the period these being the Apex Theatre in Bury StEdmonds, Cranlsigh Rotary Club, LWRC Charity Event and Fund-Raising Carol Service at Lambeth Palace |
||
| All ofthese activities promoted our objectives in developing and promoting public interest in Male Choral Music especially that in the Welsh Tradition and in the process raised funds forthe many well deserving Charities which requested our services. |
|||
| In addition, we performed ofat two Funerals and one memorial |
|||
| service at the request ofWelsh Families to provide Welsh Choral Music at these most important ceremonies and again in the |
|||
| process promoting the Welsh Choral Tradition. |
|||
| We had planned a postponed concert tour ofCadizlJerez in 2021 but this has again had to be deferred until October 2022 now that impact ofCovid has lessened. |
|||
| Again our rehearsal schedule was reduced and mod%ed due to the impact ofCovid but we gradually got back toa more normal pattern ofthe monthly rehearsals at the Ciapham Chapel in the latter part ofthe year supplemented by hybrid zoom" transmissions to members who could not attend in person. in this way we were able to preserve and sustain our choral skills and repertoire. |
|||
| As gesture due tothe lower activity we suspended our membership annual subscription for2021 but it will resume in 2022 |
| Brtefstatement ofthe charity's policy on reserves |
