SUMMER BREAK

The choir has now suspended rehearsals during the summer break.   The first rehearsal of the 2010-11 season will be at Sandilands on Thursday September 2.   Our next concert is on Saturday, September 18 at the church of St Michael and All Angels, West Croydon.

ALL GONE DOWN KIM'S 

The summer barbecue, graciously held at the home of choir chair Kimball Ormond and his delightful consort Annie on Saturday August 14, was a great success, despite the inclement weather.  For a fuller report, plus photos, please see lead item on home page, and then hit the "read more" key.

ARNHEM REPRESENTATIVES MEET CHOIR AND CROYDON COUNCIL

Two Arnhem representatives visited Croydon in July to discuss arrangements for the 2010 and 2011 Arnhem celebrations.  They met CMVC committee members Kimball Ormond and John Ward Turner together with the Croydon official, Lee Goddard, responsible for the Croydon-Arnhem link.  The Dutch pair also attended the CMVC Patrons' Concert, and were impressed by the quality of our singing.  We had originally hoped to take part in the 2010 celebrations in Arnhem but this was postponed to 2011 to allow more time for arrangements to be made.  Croydon council has already paid a contribution towards our travelling costs.

CHOIR PHOTO GALLERY

In response to popular demand, Phil Talmage and Peter Gillman have compiled a photo gallery showing choir members.   It now contains all but one member shown in Dick Diplock's latest list (and one who isn't).  Click on this link:
