Special events
The Choir now regularly holds Choral days which are open to anyone interested in
taking up choral singing and in improving their singing technique. The last three choral
days
on the 11th of October 2003, the 21st of May 2005 and on the 6th October 2007 were lead by Andrew Padmore, Gareth Green and Jeffrey Wynn Davies respectively. Those who were lucky
enough to attend were in no doubt that these were most valuable, instructive and enjoyable days.
