April 10th
Lakes Leisure Centre, Kendal
The Choir travelled north to Cumbria on a bright sunny day for a concert organised by the Rotary Club of Kendal at the Lakes Leisure Centre. We hope the concert will raise a significant amount for Rotary Charities.
The concert was well recieived by an enthusiastic audience. Edward- Rhys Harry , our MD, was conducting and Annabel Thwaite the accompanist. David Williams was the choir soloist in Working Man.
Margaret Pattinson, soprano, was the soloist and she sang a variety of songs ranging from Handel to Ivor Novello, accompanied by her son Ian Pattinson.
Colin Jones from the Choir was our compere.
After the concert the choir plus Rotary members and assorted others ended up at the Hawkshead brewery for a meal and some impromptu singing lubricated by the local real ale.
One of the joys of the choir is to take advantage of the areas of the country we visit and the sunny weather encouraged a number of Choristers to extent their trip by a few days.
Just one of the view I came across in a few days in Keswick
