Following on from our fundraising for Ukraine last March when, along with two other choirs, we raised over £1,300 in Billinge, St Helens, we performed for this worthy cause on 17 December at Asda's Hunts Cross mall. With thanks to Asda's Community on Alan Arnold for his assistance and to Rebecca Fortune of Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council for the loan of two Ukranian flags, we raised £400. We have performed at this venue on many occasions either for Asda's Tickled Pink charity or our own Willowbrook Hospice and members of the public are always extremely generous as shown on this occasion.
On 5th November we sang at this lovely young couples wedding, providing entertainment during the signing of the wedding contract.
BRYAN RILEY (1926-2022)
While still coming to terms with the loss of Don Whittaker, we have to report the passing of another of our longest-serving members, Bryan who sadly died one day short of his 96th birthday.
Up to Bryan’s death, he was a scout leader decorated by Chief Scout Bear Grylls and one who loved the friendship of other chorus members. We send our sincere condolences to Bryan’s children, Diane and Graham.
