Wives and partners
of the choir members meet about four times a year.
They arrange fundraising activities and social events to
support the choir. It is not an elected committee,
everyone who
wants to offer their support is most welcome.
There
was much to organise for the annual Ladies’ Evening
Gwalia Concert.Lists were prepared of duties-buffet,
drinks, raffle tickets and gift requirements etc in
previous meetings,and all was set out in the Hall and
kitchen early afternoon.
Gwalia
delighted the audience with a mixed repertoire of songs
in the first half-and there was a poignant rendition of
‘Benedictus’ followed by a ‘minute’s silence’ in honour
of their much-loved fellow chorister, Lawrence Sutton,
who sadly passed away last week. The up-beat ‘Five Foot
Two’ was a great first performance and encouraged high
spirits and relaxation. The audience also enjoyed their
carol-singing participation before the interval.
Mike
Phippen,the
Deputy Chairman introduced the second half with a
tribute to former President Mr. Geoff Wheel, for his
wonderful commitment to Gwalia for many years,and
donated £11,030 to Janet Fisher, MND South West Wales,in
his honour.
The
Choir then continued with their Christmas spirit and
songs-and the audience enjoyed more carol-singing
participation.
The evening concluded with a delightful buffet for
all-and all necessary clearing tasks were undertaken in
the Hall and kitchen.
It was a lovely evening!Noson hyfryd-a diolch yn fawr!
We look forward to next year’s!
