First Meeting
With great trepidation I waited on 15th January in The Stalls
to see how many (if any) men would turn up for the first practice....
.....My trepidation turned to delight when I saw not five, not ten, but seventeen men venture in.
They came not only from Baltonsborough, but Butleigh, West Pennard and even Glastonbury.
Their ages varied from 25 to 80 and their singing experience from considerable to very little,
but everyone sang with great verve
songs like
'There’s something about a soldier', 'If you were the only girl in the world' and 'There’s nothing like a dame'.
It was a loud, confident sound and reverberated richly around the hall.
We were off!
