New Chairman Required
After three years of hard work, Doug Pierce has decided to not stand for re-election as Chairman.As yet nobody is willing to volunteer to take over, let's hope the post is filled soon.News from Guetersloh.
From Anke Grossestrangmann of the Firebrigade Wind Orchestra.The name of the concert will be: Musik ohne Grenzen. What is the best translation in English: Music without borders or Music without bounds? You see, "Grenze" has a double meaning in German, it´s "frontiers" on the one hand and "limit" on the other. How can you best do that in English?
New Photograph Planned
We are having a new photograph of the choir, it will be taken outside once we have the new uniforms and when the spring flowers are in bloom.

October 1999, Founder Member Dies
Sadly John Lenthal died recently. John was a founder member and a bass. When the choir was first started John walked round Anston knocking on doors asking the men to join our choir, without John there would never have been a choir. He used to sing solos and will be sadly missed by all members. A large section of the choir attended John's funeral, we sung one of his favourite Hymns Gwahoddiad.
