Your Chairman, Dave, is standing down as Chairman at the AGM.
He is happy to continu with Publicity and the Website (unless someone else wants to take either of them on).
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT WE ELECT ANOTHER CHAIRMAN.
A new Chairman could bring a new direction for the Choir.
Under Charity Commission rules the Choir may not function without a Chairman or any of the three Officers.

Those posts are:
