The present incumbents of these positions have indicated their intention to retire at the end of 2010, each after over 25 years of dedicated service to the Choir. With currently 48 singers, membership is drawn from all over Kent. The choir is managed by an elected committee, with whom the Musical Director will liaise closely.

The choir sings in traditional TTBB format, with a wide-ranging repertoire.

Between 12 and 15 public concerts are performed each year, basically one Saturday evening per month and each of the first three Saturdays in December, covering the whole of Kent and occasionally to more distant parts.

Initial contact should be made through the Choir Secretary, Chris Longfield, telephone 01303 875121 or....
