During our concert at Sandhurst  on 11th November 2023, our chairman explained to the audience that a local author, Pam Mills, had approached the choir twelve months previously asking if she could donate monies to the choir - we of course accepted her very kind offer. Pam a former Police Officer and magistrate had written a book entitled ‘Prevention, Detection and Keepers of the Peace’ (policing Tonbridge a Division of the Kent Police). Once costs had been taken care of Pam donated profits from the sale of her book to our choir. Initially we imagined we may gain a few pounds. After a year of publicising and selling her book, the choir have benefited from upwards of one thousand pounds! A huge amount. We are extremely grateful for Pam’s generosity and support - it has made a big difference.
At the concert our chairman George Rogers presented Pam with a bouquet of flowers as a token of that appreciation.
