Chairman’s Report August 2024 to July 2025 

The choir year began by building on the foundations established in the previous year. This included cementing the changes in the Choir’s leadership and confirming the role of Joint Choir Director /Accompanist at least in the short term to encourage stability. 

The committee members and the Choir Director proposed a 6 week popup academy in September2024 and flyers were posted in local businesses and notice boards to promote this for the choir which resulted in several new and returning members. Social Media posts on Facebook and other online Communities were placed to attract new members from local and wider Groups. 

A new committee member was appointed to assist with Social Media and Events Management. The Choir also continued its weekly practices to the local Village Library which provides a much improved location at reasonable cost. 

A new programme was proposed based on songs from movies being developed for the upcoming autumn, winter and spring seasons and the Choir’s Technical Committee Member proposed the use of a Mobile / ipad application called Playscore2 to help Choir Members personal practice between weekly sessions, something to implement for the future. 

The following months saw the Choir perform at a range of events in church, public, local community and business locations which were well received and enhanced the Choir’s reputation locally. Invitations were also received to support the local Amateur dramatic Society at a Christmas performance and to perform Carols at a large private residential event locally, which was very much appreciated and could be requested again. 

A concert called Spring in to Summer was performed in June 2025 at the local Village Club, a Royal British Legion location, which was well attended and received. 

At the year end the Choir had again grown in confidence with an expanded committee with its longterm accompanist who also Directed, leading the choir and its musical programmes.
