The 2016 Open Day took place at the Cliffs Pavilion, Station Road, Westcliff-on-Sea.
This was a chance for member groups to “take a table” and enjoy an exciting day meeting other groups, promoting their events and recruiting members to their own group or society.
It was a full day with the Open Day open to the public between 10am – 4pm..There was much interest shown about the choir and a number of people expressed interest in joining us later in the year.
Thanks to all the Choir members and patrons who supported manning our display.
