Lasting PartnershipAt the choir practice on Monday 29th September Sue Christie celebrated 15 years of being the choir's Musical Director. We all recognise that Sue is the choir's greatest asset and we're very lucky to have her (but we must be doing something right to have held on to her for so long!)
Thanks Sue, here's to the next 15 years.
Competition Success
At the Penistone Competitive Music Festival on September 27th, MGMVC won both of the classes they entered and were awarded a Distinction in each.
Welsh trip
The concert in Porthmadog was very well received, especially when the two choirs joined together and sang in Welsh. This was matched by the socials in the hotels where the singing went on into the early hours.
Caernarfon Castle provided a magnificent setting for the second concert with the stone walls capturing the sound and taking it up to visitors even in the highest turrets.
The Snowdonian scenery was stunning and the weather was marvellous. On the trip to Portmeirion you could have believed we really were in Italy.
Once again we must all thank Janet and Terry Cater for organising a terrific trip.
AGM
The 2008
Annual General Meeting was held on Thursday 4th September. A summary follows, click on the link for more details.
Terry Cater has stepped down after three years as chairman. He was thanked for all his tireless efforts, many of which may have gone unnoticed by many, but which have been crucial to the success and smooth running of the choir. A special thank you was also sent to Terry's wife Janet for the huge amount of time and effort she has put in to creating programmes, posters, newsletters and organising trips and social events. John Hind was elected as the new chairman with Steve Dixon as deputy.
A presentation was made to Melvyn Dyson in recognition of his fantastic 25 year stint as secretary of the choir.
Alan Booth reported that the choir's finances were in very good shape and that subscriptions could be held to last year's level.
Sue Christie thanked the choir for their hard work and commitment. She recognised that the great friendship and sense of fun we have at practices and at social events is part of the choir's strength.
