Chairman’s report 2022/2023 Registered charity 277588 Egham & District Choral Society
After the turmoil caused by Covid and the subsequent slow resumption to public life by many people, this past year has shown a return to ‘normality’. Numbers may not have quite reached pre-pandemic levels but 2022/2023 has been a very solid year for the constituent choirs of Egham and District Choral Society. Both choirs have now completely returned to their full programme of not only entertaining and training but also in demonstrating the psychological and physical benefits of singing.
The finances of both choirs, as detailed in the Consolidated Accounts, show a healthy balance. Consequently Egham and District Choral Society once again look forward to fulfilling their charitable aims of educating people in the physical and mental benefits of choral singing.
