Wadebridge Male Voice Choir

Jenni Tarring reports that the last concert of the season was a great success. "The Wadebridge Male Voice Choir sounded fantastic under their musical director, Jerry Willcock, and the programme was varied with something for everyone. The little group of pupils and a couple of ex-pupils from St Mabyn School gave us a musical interlude and it is lovely to encourage young people to learn to play and perform in public - performance platforms are vital to the success of our musical tradition in Cornwall. Beau Scott, Margaret Mutton and I provided 'words' to balance out the musical content of the concert; Venning Davey was a funny and charming compère.

Raffle prizes were donated by the following: first prize, chicken dinner, Jenni Tarring; second prize, a harvest cake, Carole Grigg and Rachel Chamberlaine; third prize a Pieris plant, Jenny Trethewy; fourth prize, box of vegetables, John Lobb; fifth prize, assortment of jams and preserves, Molly Dyke."

The prizes generated a lot of money - everyone went home happy.
