How the Choir was formed and their First Production
In November
2008 Helen Jones and Anne Maddox met up to discuss the
need for the
local churches in their community to work together to outreach and impact the local Area.
From that conversation was born the idea of delivering the Message of Christmas through
music, so they approached Roger Jones, and they booked him for the Musical "The Inn Crowd"
A team was formed ,comprising of Anne and Helen, along with Derek Clayton and Derek Maddox.
Auditions took place in late summer for the Soloists, with rehearsals beginnning in earnest in September.
This newly formed choir would then perform this Christmas Musical together three times
in front of Special Guest over the weekend of 12th-13th December 2009
