Joining Us
We welcome new members!

If you are interested in joining, come along to a couple of Monday evening rehearsals (see Where we rehearse) and find out if you might enjoy singing with us. There is no audition and although not a prerequisite, the ability to read music would be helpful.

If you’d like more information first, just get in touch by phone or email with any of the committee (See Contact Us).

What does it cost?

The Society’s subscription year is September to August and the annual membership subscription is £80 (which works out at a shade more than £2.00 per rehearsal!). For those joining after Christmas in any year the subscription is £40 for the remainder of the subscription year. As a registered charity subscriptions qualify for tax relief under Gift Aid, and we hope that all members who pay income tax will allow us to recover tax on payments made to the Society. The subscription income helps to pay our Director of Music and the use of the church for rehearsals and performances. Income from ticket sales helps towards the cost of soloists, accompanists, orchestra and the performance and copy right fees. Other costs include printing, website, publicity and so on.

Social Events

We are a friendly lot! We enjoy a variety of social events including a renowned garden party in the summer. Other events are organised from time to time which could include participation in a concert or workshop elsewhere. Members of the choir took part in the world premiere of Karl Jenkin's Gloria at the Albert Hall in July 2010.
