Our 2019 Charity Nomination...The members from each Good Afternoon Choir choose the local charity or organisation that they will support during each year. This may be through fundraising events, singing at concerts or collections taken at the end of the Christmas carol celebration. The Frome Good Afternoon Choir have chosen to continue their fundraising from 2018 for the WHY Charity. |
|
Last year, the choir opened their doors at their Christmas Carol Concert on Monday December 10th 2018 to welcome family, friends and guests, children from Trinity School, Frome to their open carol concert. There was a retiring collection for the WHY Charity and a total of £186.70 was collected. This amount has been added to other fundraising events the choir has put on in 2018 bringing the Grand Total to £833.45. An amazing amount, I am sure you will agree!

The rehearsals run from 2pm to 4pm, there are no auditions and everyone is welcome. Many of the people in the Bath, Devizes, Bristol, Keynsham, Thornbury & Yate and Chipping Sodbury Good Afternoon Choirs have never sung in a choir before, however each of the choirs has over 100 members!
The choir rehearsals are in 4 terms of 10 weeks and members pay per term, this covers room hire, music, admin and musician fees. You DO NOT need to join at the start of a term, you can simply come along to any rehearsal and pick up a members form should you wish to join the choir - your fee will then be worked out for the remainder of that term. The Frome Good Afternoon Choir enjoys all sorts of music – from folk songs to choral favourites. If you have any questions about the Choir please contact Nikki at Grenville's office in Westfield/Midsomer Norton for any information, by calling 01761 472468 or emailing gac@grenvillemusic.co.uk – or just come along to your first free session with a friend of course! |
