Members of the society met outside the Waitrose store in Portishead to sing carols and collect donations for the charity Crisis at Christmas. Our Chair, Alex Cottrell, sent this message …

A huge thank you and congratulations to those stalwarts who turned up to sing outside Waitrose last night – 17 singers, conducted by Jonathan. Despite the relatively small numbers and being outdoors on a cold night, you produced a good sound. I’m so pleased we managed something that lets the public know we exist and are still singing, and collecting for charity. Thanks again, stalwarts! It was lovely to see you in action!
