Members

Choir members are drawn from Newquay and the wider mid Cornwall area and many have come and settled here from other parts of the U.K. Over the years this has helped the choir to establish connections to many parts of the country resulting in exchange visits with other choirs.

The choir is always looking out for new members and any prospective member will be welcomed on a Wednesday evening (6.45 for 7.00pm to 9.30pm) at the Methodist (formerly Claremont) Church, or adjoining hall in Beachfield Avenue. You do not need to have had choral experience and do not need to be able to read music – but an interest in, and enthusiasm for learning the music will help to speed up the learning process & preparation for concerts.

If you enjoy singing – in the bath, in the rowing club, in the rugby club, or in a karaoke session, come along on a Wednesday evening and join us. We will be delighted to see you!

The choir is particularly grateful to The Cornish Fudge Shoppe (Newquay), Crantock Bakery and The Atlantic Hotel for their on-going help, support & sponsorship.
