In February 2025 we competed in the Mrs Sunderland Performing Arts Festival in Huddersfield. Huddersfield Mrs Sunderland Festival is one of the largest festivals in the country, attracting well over 4000 performers during its eleven day event in Huddersfield Town Hall with many hundreds more in audiences. We competed in three classes: Class 87 Adult / Mixed Aged Choir Wannabe Fix You Result: 2nd Place, Honours (85-89 points) Class 91 Adult / Mixed Aged Mixed Voice Choir 21 voices or over Mr Blue Sky The Lily and the Rose Result: 3rd Place, Outstanding (90-94 points) Class 92 Choir Programme - open to choirs in classes 86-91 Bridge Over Troubled Water Seal Lullaby Result: Outstanding (90-94 points) Although it's disappointing not to win a class, we are super proud of and pleased with our performance, and we had fantastic feedback from the judge, audience members, other choirs and event staff members. Plus, we had a great weekend away together, staying in a hotel in Bradford! |

CHRISTMAS 2023 SEASON FUNDRAISING EVENTS For this fundraising season, we were delighted to support Stick’n’Step, a local charity dependent on public support for their work in the care of children and young adults with cerebral palsy, and their families. The first of our series of performances was at Northwich Extravaganza Christmas lighting up day on 25 November on the covered stage in Baron’s Square and then on the library steps on the High Street. This was followed by our sell out Christmas Concert in St Wilfrid’s Church on Tuesday 12 December, as well as several smaller venues in and around Northwich, culminating in an evening at The Weaver’s Whistle in Lostock Gralam. Total funds raised passed on to Stick’n’Step amounted to £1886.50 |
