The| |||||Choir also held a successful
'Come and| |||||Sing' day which resulted
in a large number| |||||of new people being exposed to choral| |||||singing
with many ofthem signing
up forthe| |||||new season 2022-23. While the registered| |||||name ofthe choir will remain

in order to maintain
the relevance of| |||||the society in the promotion
of vocal| |||||activities for the public good throughout
the| |||||North Cumbria
Region, and to recognise the| |||||far greater role of 'independent'
singers, the| |||||Choir will trade under the name 'Cumbria| |||||Singers'.| ## |Review|ofthe charity's|ofthe charity's|ofthe charity's|ofthe charity's|ofthe charity's|||Para 1.21|The Trustees decided that activity had to| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |financial|position|||at the end|||||recommence
