Welcome to the Good Afternoon Choir website
Friday May 18th - Sunday May 20th 2018 - Our Choir Tour to Cornwall
The Good Afternoon Choirs have been invited to visit Cornwall next May. The Devizes and Bath choirs have enjoyed choir weekends in the past and we are excited that next years tour will be made up of members from across the 8 Good Afternoon Choirs. We will be based in the Camborne Premier Inn hotel and on Saturday evening members will join as ONE group and will perform at Falmouth Methodist Church. Neil Shepherd and his Cornwall Community Choir Association will host the concert (Grenville has been Patron of Cornwall Community Choirs for quite a long time and Neil’s choirs will also perform as part of the concert.) The group will then leave for home on Sunday.
