BACK FROM BOURNEMOUTH

Well, we're all back home (May 31st), still buzzing after our week's choir trip to Bournemouth and places thereabouts, but maybe feeling a bit deflated because all good things must come to an end.

It was a tremendous success, including a visit to Salisbury Cathedral, a concert in The Norfolk Royale Hotel and midday recitals at the magnificent venues of Romsey Abbey and Christchurch Priory. What a pleasure and privilege it was to sing to sizeable audiences in those wonderful acoustics, led by our dynamic duo of Matt Leedam and Julie Townson, who enthusiastically shared and swapped the tasks of conductor and accompanist. We were unable to take a full team, but our reduced choir acquitted themselves even better than we could have hoped for.

Our merry group made the most of their free time and went their own ways to enjoy the delights of the South Coast, including boat trips, a steam train ride, pleasant walks and visits to various cafes, restaurants and certain licensed houses where a gobsmacking £6 a pint elicited the Yorkshire-style response of "How much???"

Big thanks to everyone involved in organising the trip and making it go smoothly, especially our ladies' committee, to Matt and Julie, violinist Justine Leedam, our chairman Pete Booth and secretary Michael Timberlake.
