Choir Recognise 100% Concert Attendance
At a recent AGM of the Choir, a presentation was made by the Chairman Don Surridge, on behalf of the Choir to Arthur Griffith a long-standing and faithful member of Barry Male Voice Choir since 1972. This was to recognise that over the past 5 years Arthur had achieved a 100% record of attendance for concerts and a 99% record of attendance for rehearsals. This meant that over the last 5 year period, he had attended 105 concert engagements and had only missed 4 out of 448 rehearsals, quite an achievement for a chorister approaching the age of 80!
