The Choir was formed in January l988 and recently celebrated its 20th Anniversary Season. Our 34 current members are drawn mainly from the Dalston area, but the Choir welcomes members from all areas, provided they are willing to travel to Dalston for rehearsals. We have a Musical Director and Accompanist with wide experience in the musical world and this is reflected in the varied types of music we perform.

AIMS

• To enjoy group singing.

• To share this enjoyment with others, particularly through charitable events.

REHEARSALS

Rehearsals are held in the Methodist Chapel in Dalston each Wednesday afternoon from 2.00 pm until 3.30 pm. We normally have a break in summer from the middle of June until the beginning of September. Please come along if you would like to join us. The entrance is through the side door of the Chapel.

An annual subscription of £30.00 is payable to cover the cost of original music.
