Good Grevé - Awards and Socialising
3 October 2016
With just short of 130 members, including seven new members since
the beginning of this term, the Bach Choir continues to go from
strength-to-strength. And far from being the stuffy, dreaded thing
of the past, our Annual General Meeting, which took place earlier
tonight, is now a highlight of the year. Of course, we miss an hour
of singing, but we get an inspirational pep-talk from our President,
Sir Peter Ellwood VLL CBE, the presentation of the Member's Award,
and the prolonged interval with cheese and wine (sadly, no Grevé was
on offer).

Sir Peter Ellwood's Rousing Speech
|
All choir members can nominate any choir member (except current
committee members), and the committee debate the nominations. This
year the Member's Award was presented to Claire Lodge, who holds our
long-service award, and who has - alongside singing - faithfully
catered and entertained at events for as many years one cares to
remember. She is a mainstay of the social life of the choir, and is
a worthy recipient indeed.
At the AGM the full programme for the remainder of 2017 was
announced, and the 2018 dates listed. We have a huge number of
exciting events on the horizon, not least our tour to Venice!
