Our picture above shows the Wells GAC performing at their annual Christmas Carol Concert in December 2021. This was their first concert in 2 years since the Covid pandemic forced them to stop. At the end of the concert a retiring collection was taken for their chosen charities and a wonderful £320.74 was raised. This amount will be added to their ongoing fundraising figure and this means so far the Choir have raised just over £1,740.89 between the charities.
We are delighted to be back singing at our weekly rehearsals.The Wells Good Afternoon Choir rehearses EVERY Tuesday afternoon from 2-4pm at at our NEW VENUE - St Thomas Church - singing for fun, everyone welcome!
