Annual Ladies Charity
Christmas Concert
The Annual Ladies Charity Christmas Concert is
held in
the Swansea Scout & Guide Headquarters in
Brynmill. Every
year the ladies support a different charity. Tickets are sold to partners
and supporters and a buffet is included in the
price. Choir members have a free glass of wine or
beer after they have finished their singing. The
choir members call this a 'Singing for their supper
event'.
The Choir sing a selection of pieces for the first half
and then there is a short talk from the recipient of the charity
donation. After the choir have
sung the second half of their concert an excellent
buffet is served by the ladies to the guests and the
choir. After the buffet Christmas Hampers and lots
of other prizes are raffled. During the evening a
collection is made for that years charity. The evening finishes
with everyone joining in with Christmas carols including
the ever popular, energetic 'Twelve Days of
Christmas'. As well as a donation to the charity the
evening also makes a profit for the choir funds.
A great evening is always had by all. Well done all
those who always work so hard to make this possible
