As we reach the end of 2018, it’s amazing to know that across the Good Afternoon Choirs, the concerts, the Christmas specials, a total raised for local charities comes to £9,986.55 – what a fantastic result and thank you to you all for helping to make this possible!

May 2018 - A wonderful weekend in Cornwall
Two coaches set out for Falmouth for our memorable weekend in Cornwall. 70 members from across our Good Afternoon Choirs had a brilliant time in the sun... Our hosts were the Cornwall Community Choirs and we all joined forces for a very special concert in Falmouth Methodist Church supporting the work of the local Cornwall Hospice. Concerts and tours are very much part of 'belonging' to our Good Afternoon Choirs.
