We are sad to report that David Little, a founding member of the Choral Society, and first Chairman, died on Thursday 12th July 2018. He was crucial in the forming of the original Evening Class in Formby, with Roget Golder as conductor, and he served as Chairman on there separate occasions. He is greatly missed.
We were also sad to hear of the death of Nancy Owen, who was our loyal accompanist from 1991 to 2004.
