	News All music and some items of uniform are provided for choir members to ensure that everyone is smartly dressed for performances. Billingham Choral Society is a member of the National Association of Choirs (Northeast) and enjoyed taking part in the Choral Spectacular which took place in the City Hall, Newcastle on September 26th 2009. It is hoped that the Choir will continue to flourish for many years to come, bringing pleasure to both singers and audiences in the area. After a very busy and successful December, the choir is taking a break but will begin rehearsing again on Wednesday, January 13th. New members are always welcome and this is a good time to join us as the choir will be learning new music for performances later in the year. Gentlemen interested in singing are encouraged to come along now to help keep a balanced sound. If you require any further information, please email the Secretary, Florence. In February 2009, we were granted an award under the "Awards for All" scheme, part of the National Lottery. This award has enabled us to replace our electronic piano and purchase additional music to add to our repertoire. A recent substantial grant from Grassroots Funding means that, in addition to funding rehearsal venue hire and purchase of music etc., the choir will soon appear in new outfits at concerts. We are grateful for this financial assistance enabling the choir to continue to bring pleasure to audiences throughout the area. At the 12th annual concert, given jointly with Synthonia Male Voice Choir, held in Norton Methodist Church on December 5th, Mrs. Doreen Anderson thanked both choirs and all who have supported her fund-raising efforts over the past twelve years. The money raised at this year's concert brings the total to £10,000.00. Doreen told everyone how the money has helped provide both equipment and items for patient comfort in the Haematology Unit at The University Hospital of North Tees. Both choirs give their services free in memory of choir members who have lost their battle with leukaemia. Site Designed & Created by Kwezi Web and hosted by Charity Web Host
