Charity

.Chairman David Cross’ Charity Concert for the Choir year July 2019 – July 2020 is St Mary’s Church, Beverley. For almost 900 years, St. Mary’s Church has stood magnificently as an architectural wonder among the great Parish Churches of England. With the passing of time, however, the stonework of this beautiful church is crumbling and we shall do our modest best towards its restitution. See more about the Church under “About Our Town”. The Concert will be a joint event on 27th September with the Dalesmen MVC of Derby (see “Events” page.)

President Kate Andrews chose Dove House Hospice as her Charity for the choir year July 2018-19 and her charity concert, with the Kidderminster Valentines Ladies’ Choir on 26 July 2019, raised approximately £1200 for this fine cause.

Patrons

We have a very loyal band of Patrons, about 80 at present, who are unstinting in their support for our Choir. We in turn provide them with their own free Patrons’ Concert each year. They are also invited to our Choir Annual Social Evening and Dinner .

Some Patrons also accompany us on trips out of the area to Joint Concerts with other Choirs. In June 2016, some went with us to the Lake District for joint concerts with Kendal and Barrow-in-Furness Male Voice Choirs as well as enjoying a very pleasant stay in the Cumbria Grand Hotel, Grange-over-Sands with stop-offs at Skipton and Richmond.

Other away trips with patrons included a trip to Mansfield and Derby, visiting the Heights of Abraham on the way back, singing a mini-concert in the chamber of one of the old mines and another tour, to Whitby and Hartlepool, with a very pleasant day in Whitby on the return journey.

We consider our Patrons to be very much part of our Choir.

We ask our Patrons to contribute just £15 pa each to choir finances.
