at Holy Trinity Church, Thurgoland
The Choir’s Background and Aims
Thurgoland Community Choir was formed in August 2012 and is open to members of Thurgoland Parish and surrounding District. It was facilitated as a community venture by the Holy Trinity Thurgoland’s Community Action Group (‘the CAG’) which has a remit from the parish church to engage with the local community in new and different ways.
The choir is a community and not a religious venture. It expects to embrace a wide range of secular, popular and spiritual music. Its primary aim is to bring members of the local community together to enjoy singing in a social and friendly environment.
The CAG funded the choir for the first 6 months but it is now self-funded. The choir is run by a management committee of volunteers. A copy of the constitution is available on request.
The choir invites enthusiastic singers of all ages with no special musical expertise required.
The choir meets for rehearsals every Wednesday evening from 7.30 to 9.30 with a short refreshment break included.
Victoria Heyes was our inspiration and led us from the choir’s conception. Her career as a Doctor unfortunately saw her move from the local area.
If you love singing please come along. – your first rehearsal is free of charge.
