A group of us met at Leigh station last Tuesday for carols in support of the RNLI. We had a good sing – a cappella style using the wonders of modern technology, a mobile phone with a piano app, to get our notes. The cakes from the coffee shop were a welcome treat – such a kind gesture from the proprietor. 

We raised over £745 – not a bad amount for 2 hours of singing and we must thank the rail passengers for the most generous giving. Well done to everyone who came along. The money we raised this year now takes the total support to the RNLI by the Southend Bach Choir to over £5,523.
