God$Jg, GU7 2HZ Tteasurtr 01483 861028 Hugh cMl treasure averl sin rs.com September 2025 To all Members Trea8urer'8 R¢ rt for the ar to 31 Jnl 2025 The Waverley Singers have had another excellent year, hIgh'ghted by a fuLI-sc8le perforniance of Elijah in Aldershot and a celebratory Summer Concert in FrenshaTn Church, remembering Jo Reader's magnificent contribution to the Choir and the 70th annivers8ry of its foundation. Having eonllnissioned Owain Park to Vlte a piece for this occasion, his Five Nocturnes proved a resounding success. and his enthusiastic presence at the concert was much appreciated by choir members and audience alike. This was good use of the Jo Reader Legacy funds, as was the Waverlry Sing at the end of the season vthich attracted nearly 100 people to St Andrew's, Farnham on a blisteringiy hot day for an enjoyable day of singing together. Inevitably, this was aypensive year. but the accounts remain in a healthy state. The high level of membership has been maintained, and costs reduced by the use of the Spire Church for rehearsals. Workshops continue to generate a healthy surplus, and our concerts are well-supported with nearly ajl seats sold. The tireless work of the publicity te8Jn keeps our profile high, 8nd the new website will contribute to this. We have another exciting year in prospect, with a joint Christmas Concert with the choir of St Thomas-on-the-Bourne and a return to Guildford Cathedr8J after many years in the Spring. My thanks are due to the Co-chairs. who continue to lead the Choir with great ener 8nd enthusiasm, to Mike Aaronson and RiChd Pearce for their unstinting work on the website and to all the committee who give of their tsme without compl8int. none more so th8 Carolyn Patey who retires as Secretary this year and who has always been a great support to me. Ltz Witham has also retired after many ye8rs as Cashier, and I th8nk her unreservedly for her cheerfijl efficiency 8nd patience. Gammell - Hon TreasuYeT
