OPEN DAY - Our Wells Good Afternoon Choir have their OPEN DAY on Tuesday 10th September (download our flyer here) Everyone welcome - bring a friend!
May 2019 - Keynsham Good Afternoon Choir welcomed members of the Wells Good Afternoon Choir for a joint concert on Saturday May 11th at St John's Church. The chosen charity for Keynsham this year is The Mencap - 'Music Man Project' and the young people from that group performed as part of the memorable concert. Hosted by our own, Grenville Jones, a bucket shake at the end of the evening raised a fantastic £1,041.06 - Keynsham Good Afternoon Choir will be continuing their fundraising throughout 2019 for this brilliant project! Above is a photo showing the two choirs in full voice.

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 Wells Good Afternoon Choir have chosen the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance. |

On December 11th 2018, the choir opened their doors to welcome family, friends and guests, children from St Cuthbert's CofE Junior School to their carol concert. The concert ended with an announcement that the choir had raised an amazing £2750.00 for the Hope for Tomorrow Charity (Bumble Chemotherapy Bus Appeal) However since the concert more money has been added, bringing the total to an amazing £2,932.79. Members chose the charity which has benefitted from concerts and fundraising events throughout 2018. The total was achieved with wonderful support from Lloyds Bank who "doubled" the amounts raised at two of the fundraising events.
